you just need to make sure one of your users has followed an account/lemmy community on the pixelfed side
OK so I went to my pixelfed.social account, searched for “@superbowl@lemmy.world” and clicked on the “follow” button.
and make sure a lemmy account follows an account on the pixelfed side.
So… does it have to be a lemmy account on lemmy.world (for !superbowl@lemmy.world, say). And is there any particular pixelfed account that the lemmy account has to follow?
These all refer to the main developer of pixelfed, dansup. The first one is dansup’s pixelfed account followed on slrpnk.net where my account is. The second one is dansup’s pixelfed account followed on lemmy.world, the biggest lemmy instance. The third one is dansup’s pixelfed account followed on lemmy.today, which is your instance.
The account is visible to me on the first two links. HYPOTHESIS: I think that means it’s “being followed” by those instances? The account is NOT visible on the last link for me, I just get an error. NeatoBuilds, take a look at the last link: it might give you an error the first time, but HYPOTHESIS: if you refresh, I think it will be visible and that means it’s “being followed” on your instance lemmy.today.
Oh cool yeah I was about to find my mastodon account and see posts and i could see my pixelfed account but shows it as no posts and no way to follow them
Yeah I don’t think you can Follow people on the web interface of Lemmy, maybe on other interfaces. I think it’s more a matter of: is the Instance following the pixelfed/mastodon account. If so, then future posts will show up.
Ok the cool thing is you can post to lemmy from pixelfed the same way you do from mastodon by tagging the community and instance @community@instance.domain
Wow awesome. I made another couple comments on your post from pixelfed.social and mastodon.social (as “Terencio”)
my comment made on mastodon.social showed up on pixelfed.social
my comment made on mastodon.social did NOT show up on https://lemmy.today/post/22411382 Hypothesis: bc nobody on lemmy.today is following that mastodon.social account?
@user@server.url just like any other account. It should show up. Another option is to search for the post on the top of lemmy and then navigate to their account.

Thanks for the lead.
The Lemmy account has to follow the Pixelfed account that is going to post to Lemmy
How do you find a pixelfed account through lemmy?
I think I figured it out… consider the following links:

search @username@pixelfed.social and you should see the user pop up.
@user@server.url just like any other account. It should show up. Another option is to search for the post on the top of lemmy and then navigate to their account.
Example: @dansup@pixelfed.social
If that doesnt work, you can try this: https://lemmy.world/u/@dansup@pixelfed.social
in other words your telling lemmy to go to his personal account, which happens to be on another server.
