Can't follow my own Pixelfed account on Mastodon

Submitted ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨5teverin0@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨fediverse@lemmy.world⁩

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 @5teverin0@mastodon.social, and @5teverin0@pxlmo.com. Thanks.

I can follow and see content from both accounts via the Ice Cubes app.

I follow my own Pixelfed account on Mastodon and will often boost posts. I have a pixelfed.social account though. It’s probably a federation issue on your specific Pixelfed instance. I’ve moved the Mastodon account a bunch and I’ve had problem on specific instances. I was never able to see my Pixelfed posts from fedia.social (ice shrimp), for example.

I was also able to search, follow, and see your Pixelfed posts from mastodon.social.

  …why did you say “ice shrimp”?

    Seemed like a cool thing to say in the moment. No good?
    
    I said it was my Mastodon account but that server was running Firefish then a fork of Firefish called iceshrimp, neither of which are Mastodon. But it’s now a Mastodon account again.

The syncing of different mastodon instances is horrendous. I had to leave mastodon for bluesky because of this.

Though I still have a pixelfed account.

OK, I think I have this straightened out. The situation was that only my first couple of PixelFed posts showed up in my Mastodon timeline, anything more recent did not. Somewhere along the way, I unfollowed and refollowed my Pixelfed account, to no effect. Today, I went into my Mastodon settings and saw that my Pixelfed follow was “Pending”. I canceled it and followed my Pixelfed account again, and all is well.

I can see it from the three medium/small instances I just tried.

Also, is typigraphy a typo (typi?) or its own thing?
