The Lemmy account has to follow the Pixelfed account that is going to post to Lemmy

    How do you find a pixelfed account through lemmy?

    I think I figured it out... consider the following links:

    These all refer to the main developer of pixelfed, dansup. The first one is dansup's pixelfed account followed on slrpnk.net where my account is. The second one is dansup's pixelfed account followed on lemmy.world, the biggest lemmy instance. The third one is dansup's pixelfed account followed on lemmy.today, which is your instance.

    The account is visible to me on the first two links. HYPOTHESIS: I think that means it's "being followed" by those instances? The account is NOT visible on the last link for me, I just get an error. NeatoBuilds, take a look at the last link: it might give you an error the first time, but HYPOTHESIS: if you refresh, I think it will be visible and that means it's "being followed" on your instance lemmy.today.

    Yeah I don't think you can Follow people on the web interface of Lemmy, maybe on other interfaces. I think it's more a matter of: is the Instance following the pixelfed/mastodon account. If so, then future posts will show up.

    Ok the cool thing is you can post to lemmy from pixelfed the same way you do from mastodon by tagging the community and instance @community@instance.domain

    Wow awesome. I made another couple comments on your post from pixelfed.social and mastodon.social (as "Terencio")

    search @username@pixelfed.social and you should see the user pop up.

    @user@server.url just like any other account. It should show up. Another option is to search for the post on the top of lemmy and then navigate to their account.

    Example: @dansup@pixelfed.social

    If that doesnt work, you can try this: https://lemmy.world/u/@dansup@pixelfed.social

    in other words your telling lemmy to go to his personal account, which happens to be on another server.
