Lemmy currently doesn't allow you to follow individuals. As kbin does, it is probably a feature we will see in the future.

For now you'd need a Mastodon, kbin or Calckey account (I recommend the last one).

You can actually browse individual profiles from places like Mastodon on Lemmy. They get interpreted as a community where each post is one "toot" from that user.

Though comments and upvotes don't proliferate back to the original platform, they live on your instance.

How do I see lemmy from calckey ?

Try searching for the community like you do a person. @ name @ instance

Search for a community just like you would elsewhere.

This place would be @fediverse@kbin.social, so you'd search that to find this place on the fediverse. Lemmy communities use the same format.

As far as I can tell, this would subscribe you to a user with the username "fediverse". I've already seen a user and a community both named "cat" on the same instance, so that could be a problem if calckey doesn't differentiate between @fediverse@kbin.social and fediverse@kbin.social.

That is a known bug at the moment. I believe there is a fix in review right now but Codeberg seems to be down.
