Most servers do. Depends on their block/allow list and their setup.

The software supports it, you just need to make sure one of your users has followed an account/lemmy community on the pixelfed side and make sure a lemmy account follows an account on the pixelfed side.

Its not a perfect solution, but it gets the job done after that. (I tested this on an older version of lemmy and a new bleeding edge version of pixelfed)

One of the biggest ongoing issues with lemmy is that all the other fediverse systems generally work together pretty well but then you get to lemmy and it works....kinda? Mostly? But there is always quirks, like only being able to post but not see comments. as I say on lemmy :). I like the platform because of the ongoing community that seems to stick around and have sustainable growth (like oooold reddit).

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?

Thanks for the lead.
