It's much easier to follow people from e.g. mastodon from here than I remember it being on lemmy.
I don't think you can really follow individual Mastodon (or even mbin / lemmy) accounts yet. At least not in a way where their posts will appear in your feed.
They appear in the "microblog" tab. To see them it's necessary to get in the habit of clicking on that occasionally. Seems worth it. The rest of the fediverse is maybe two orders of magnitude larger than lemmy, there's lots of stuff to be seen out there.
That just shows all posts though, or all posts posted to a certain community or whatever. I don't think there's a place where I specifically just see the posts of accounts or even whole networks that I follow, like the subscribed feed for threads.
Oh right, I forgot there's a setting you may need in order to show only 'subscribed' stuff by default.
It's sort of confusing. I usually just navigate directly to
fedia.io/sub/newestas my starting point and then the microblog link at the top goes to/sub/microblog/newest.Wait, since when is this a thing? I'm pretty sure I've tried that some months ago already.
