According to this comment, this has been an intermittent issue from the initial introduction of federation several weeks back: https://lemmy.ml/post/89740/comment/105555

Have we figured out why this is happening yet?

    Edit: Ignore this for now, I thought I’d gotten past the original issue.

    Next question is how to get content from the comm to show up in my Mastodon feed after I follow.

    I understand that being the first person on my instance to follow a comm will mean that my instance won’t preview any content, however I’m not seeing anything pop up yet now that I’m following.

      You can’t follow users, only groups/communities. You can paste a Lemmy URL into mastodon search bar to load the post for sharing or commenting

      Another finding is that even though the icons show that I am following the comms, they don’t show up in the “following” list of my profile.
