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")

my comment made on mastodon.social showed up on pixelfed.social
my comment made on mastodon.social did NOT show up on https://lemmy.today/post/22411382 Hypothesis: bc nobody on lemmy.today is following that mastodon.social account?
my comment made on pixelfed.social did NOT show up on mastodon.social. specifically, https://mastodon.social/@MrPistachios@pixelfed.social/113855663395156100 This was a bit of a surprise.
my comment made on pixelfed.social did NOT show up on https://lemmy.today/post/22411382 Hypothesis: again, bc nobody on lemmy.today is following that pixelfed.social account? Also, I forgot to add the "@sideoftheroad@lemmy.today" part.
