I’m on kbin. Not sure if it works on lemmy. I just went to the main search and typed in @elonjet@mastodon.social (not sure if that will show right, it turned into a link for me when I pasted last. For me there’s a follow option, in my profile it shows as followed and the last post is there.

Why doesn’t it work with a Lemmy account? I thought that’s the point of the Fediverse?
I don’t think lemmy allows you to follow people, only communities.

Probably a little busy with the recent surge in popularity. Maybe some other developers can get involved.
