Following Mastodon accounts from Lemmy? (self.asklemmy)

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!

Couple corrections on the rep technicalities: Upvotes didn't count for rep at first, but they have for a few weeks now. For mastodon integration, upvote = favorite(like). Reduces and "downvotes" are not separate functions; a downvote IS a "reduce" and it's always had a rep impact.

Awesome, thanks for the clarifications, they're appreciated!

I have an account on kbin, but I mostly post over here in Lemmy. Haven't really kept up with the Kbin side of the 'verse.
