I am trying to follow my own Pixelfed account on Mastodon, but even though I search for, find, and follow my Pixelfed account, none of my Pixelfed posts appear in my Mastodon timeline. I am unsure if the problem lies with Pixelfed, Mastodon or both. Anyone else have a similar experience? I am @[email protected], and @[email protected]. Thanks.
Going to mastodon.social and searching for [email protected] in the search field, I see posts going back to August 21 just fine from there. So it’s not clear to me what is not working?
Federation of post is not retroactive - if you search up yourself from another instance you should find your profile, but you might not see your old posts. If you follow yourself, all future posts will be federated.
