    the way I do it is open up lemmy on the browser and you can copy the fediverse link and paste it into mastodon to search for it, but federation is a whole thing so not everyone who sees something from their instance sees everything from every instance depending on who is federated with who, so with mastodon and lemmy it gets a little weird. Ive seen some tools that help pull more content that otherwise your instance wouldnt automatically get itself so that you can see more replies etc but I havent messed around with that

      Thanks. I use the app Boost for Lemmy but do not have that icon you circled.

      I find you on Mastodon as Mr Pistachios but zero posts and replies are show. That is your deliberate setting?

        oh yeah I only see that icon from the browser where I mostly use it, and stuff really only shows up if your instance pulls the data which is normally doesnt do for mastodon stuff, and no way to follow specific accounts so not much use anyway
