How to follow a mastodon account from here? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have tried this multiple times, and it seems like I’m missing something. Explanations are all doing a bit of hand waving where they say “put the account in the search field.”

What search field??? The one at https://lemmy.world/communities/listing_type/All/page/1

Because that’s the only one I can find. And it doesn’t return anything when I enter any version of something that would identify the mastodon account I want to follow here.

Help!

Well, I'm not sure how to post to communities, but you can see all posts from a community by just searching for it on mastodon (use @ instead of !). (so to find lemmyworld, go to i.e. chaos.social and then enter @[email protected] in search) There you can also reply to posts, and these replies will show up on Lemmy. In addition to that, you can follow Lemmy users so their comments will show up on your timeline.
