        Lemmy communities appear as users in mastodon. But you can’t follow a lemmy user from mastodon, I don’t think.

          I follow my own Lemmy account with the address steveklord@slrpnk.net on Mastodon and I believe I’ve followed other users as well so I do believe it’s possible.

        Update: i failed miserably, i tried to search this entry https://mstdn.social/@Argyle13@xarxa.cloud/110615667838401899

        That looks like too much… stuff in the URL.

        It looks like:

        • you are on mastdn.social
        • trying to view the user: @Argyle13@xarxa.cloud
        • whose link would be something like: https://xarxa.cloud/@Argyle13
        • making them: Celia Valdeolmillos
        • the post ID would then, I assume, be: 110615667838401899

        edit: and just to say that using the link above in the way I demonstrated gets that user’s profile brought through.

            I got it to work through the Lemmy web interface before but can’t make it work now. Equally, I can’t get their profile up to follow on Mastodon.

            I don’t know the cause of that but it might be an issue with that instance or federation in general.

            edit and now it works just fine. Keep plugging away.

            Worth noting that, as I posted the link above, the profile now appears below my post.
