Hey, folks. I'm new to this whole Fediverse thing. One of the things I've been most excited try out is the whole cross platform aspect, where you can follow peertube/mastodon/lemmy accounts from the other sites. I have my reddit account mostly switched over. I went through and found (I think) all of the communities I follow that have a presence on Lemmy. I'd like to start following some Mastodon accounts from my Lemmy if possible, but all the instructions I find when searching it talk about following Lemmy from Mastodon, not the other way around. When I copy the Mastodon links and search them within Lemmy, no results are found. I've tried through a browser, through Jerboa, and through Connect.

Can anyone help me?

Please and thank you!

I get it. I still flinch when I see I have new messages waiting. But the fediverse is generally a pretty pleasant place and we work hard to keep it that way.

There's nothing wrong with having separate accounts either, I do. But if you're going to check out mastodon, I'd recommend also checking out firefish as well.

They're both the "twitters" of the fediverse, so like kbin and Lemmy here. Mastodon is more for people who want a simple interface with fewer options, whereas Firefish has a sleeker more customizable interface with a lot more options and features. And it has a wonderful onboarding process. They'll both get you the same content, so it's whichever one you like better.
