quick question but I’ve read that lemmy federates with both mastodon and peertube (I have checked and can find myself here: https://mastodon.social/@Scraft161@iusearchlinux.fyi but I am unable to see any users from mastodon or peertube.

Search failing on lemmy:
Screenshot of a search for "@torvalds@social.kernel.org" returning nothing

Same search on mastodon.social:
Screenshot of the same search successfully returning the user's profile

Is there something I’m doing wrong or has federation not been implemented both ways as of yet?

EDIT: minor formatting regarding images

    There’s now ay for you to follow a Fediverse account from Lemmy, at this time; however, as you know, it does work the other way around.

      are there any plans for this? I had a quick look around the GH and I couldn’t really find anything conclusive.
