ELI5 How to link Pixelfed and Calckey

3 years ago by hellerphant to c/fediverse

Hi there! I am pretty new to the Fediverse, spinning up an account on Mastodon in November of last year, moving to Calckey about 1.5 months ago.

I do photography, which I share on Calckey, but I thought I would also go into Pixelfed. I believe you can follow accounts / link them somehow from both services. However whenever I search for my Pixelfed account on Calckey, it cannot find the user.

Or am I just completely misunderstanding how it works. I created my pixelfed account on Pixelfed.social, and I actually follow a few people from that instance on my Calckey account, which is when I got very confused.

You should be able to easily find yourself and follow by searching in the Calckey search box (normally on the left bar in the desktop mode) <@username@pixelfed.social> If this does not work I sugges the full address of your pixelfed profile page. Something like https://pixelfed.social/bla/black/username

Yes, that should work.
I also use Calckey and follow my Pixelfed accounts.
Linking is something else, it doesn't work like that.

Can you please give me your Pixelfed account so that I can follow it?
