How to I subscribe to a user on a federated server while on lemmy.world? (self.techsupport)

Suppose I want to subscribe to: https://masto.ai/@rbreich

How do I do that from the web browser version of lemmy.world? I try going to that site and can't subscribe unless I'm a member of masto.ai. If I search for user on lemmy I find him, but there's no obvious subscribe mechanism.

Thanks!

So looks like it's not possible at the moment? I can't seem to find a kbin/lemmy/mastadon combined client for PC or Android?

Argh, this is why I can't ever get into Linux/BSD, etc. Just so many variants, and they go through cycles on which is popular.

You won’t, the format doesn’t really work well together. You can technically do some interactions between them, but there is no client that makes it easy for you.

Don’t stress about it. Just think of them as separate.

Kbin doesn’t have an API yet, so most app developers don’t go for it, the only one I know of is Artemis, but that one doesn’t support Lemmy yet (it is planned).

You can subscribe to masto users on kbin. No kbin apps yet, so you can use it only in a browser

RTFM: how do i know this: i read it somewhere and tried it. No free lunch, just patience and reading
