It is still not possible to follow someone on #Mastodon (or elsewhere) from #Lemmy or #Piefed, right?

So no use of #activitypub either. Is that correct?

@mikka@mstdn.social you don't follow people on Lemmy and Piefed, you follow communities.

You can follow people from Mbin and NodeBB.

All four of those softwares use ActivityPub.

you can follow Lemmy and Piefed people from other places just fine tho! I follow accounts from my Mastodon account quite often

My question was about a different case. Just the other way round.
in reply to Mikka

you can follow a blog on lemmy (see @notiz.blog ) and following others using WordPress is an early beta and I have not tested to follow communites/groups, but we definitely plan to support that.

Actually I wanted to know if it is possible to follow *from* lemmy/piefed > someone elsewhere. Because this is a necessitiy to federate anything from a WP-installation running activitypub (plugin) to fediverse.
