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
