I thought Activity Pub enables you to connect to all Federated servers. Why am I having difficulty subscribing to Mastodon feeds?
You cannot follow everything from everything.
- From Mastodon you can follow Lemmy communities and Lemmy users. Some Lemmy communities name gets hashtags on mastodon, e.g. if you follow
#idm
there, you will see posts from !idm@lemmy.zip - From Lemmy you cannot follow/subscribe to anything from Mastodon. You can see replies and posts of Mastodon users in Lemmy communities
If you want to follow all from one account with a Lemmy-like interface, the closest you can get is with Mbin. There you can follow Lemmy communities, Mastodon and Lemmy users. You cannot follow Mastodon hashtags though.

Lemmy only supports following
group
s. It will reject a post if it isn’t posted to agroup
.Check out piefed and mbin for things that are more compatible.
