Can I follow mastodon accounts in Lemmy? (self.support)

I thought we were all one big federated family but I don't have a deep knowledge of how it all works. I'd like to follow accounts like lowqualityfacts and Georgetakei but I can't seem to find them by searching.

If your Mastodon server has a setting called authorized_fetch on, federation with Lemmy is currently broken (they've just pushed a fix so hopefully that'll be live soon).

That said, it only affects posting to Lemmy for me, I'm still able to follow communities just fine. So maybe it's yet another setting causing havoc that we don't know about yet!
