Whenever I search a Mastodon user and pull up their profile it shows up as if they have nothing posted.

See Attached

Is this issue just because of the mass Reddit exodus or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance for the help.

    I don’t believe you can see Mastodon posts from Lemmy unless a Mastodon user comments on a Lemmy post.

      Ah, so in theory if I want to interact with Mastodon users it would be best to make an account on mastodon.social then?

          .social + .online are the mastodon equivalents of lemmy.ml, except they’ve been through several mass migrations already so they kinda know what they’re doing

          .world is (perhaps un)surprisingly the mastodon equivalent of lemmy.world, same admin and all

          but tbf https://joinmastodon.org is so much more polished than join-lemmy that it’s actually worth going through instead of just piling on the largest

    If I’m not mistaken even though you can view users within the fediverse you won’t get anything because the instance of Mastodon does not store data the same way that Lemmy does.

    Think of it as someone went into a cheese factory asking to talk to a specific person who works there and asking them to see their selection of beans

        So, as I understand it based on other systems I’ve used/worked on that had a few similar feature sets, ActivityPub will effectively send out events of “things”. What that is depends on whoever is telling ActivityPub about it. So, the data for a mastadon post (what are these called?) Would likely be pretty different to the data shape of a post on Lemmy. Not specifically the same, but I don’t think there’s anything stopping somebody from developing a server that can handle multiple types of content. Kbin has a similar thing between threads and microblogging. Two content types supported there.
