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

    Mastodon is implementing groups I think which should be able to be followed from lemmy, I think. That would be cool.

      if so that would open up one part of federation that makes sense to lemmy, it would be a great first step to see federation go the other way; but I also believe lemmy should step up it’s game if it wants to be proper part of the fediverse.
