Cannot follow @pid_eins@mastodon.social

2 years ago by robinm to c/meta

Hello,

I’m trying to follow Lennard Poetting (@pid_eins@mastodon.social) from my programming.dev account without success.

On its user profile on mastodon.social, when I click on the “follow” button, then enter “programming.dev” (which is in the completion list) then “take me home”, I am redirected to https://programming.dev/... which is a 404 error.

I also tried to search for “@pid_eins@mastodon.social” directly from programming.dev, found it, but 0 toot, and no button to be able to follow it.

Am I doing something wrong? Is mastodon.social and programming.dev not federated?

It's not possible to follow Mastodon users on Lemmy yet. It is possible to @ them to a post or comment, they can follow users here, and they can also make posts and comments here after being pinged. (or searching for a post on Mastodon)

Thank you! I didn’t realized that I was using my lemmy account and not my mastodon account.
