How do you find people you want to follow on other instances with mastodon? I've tried searching all kinds of ways with username and instance, but it doesn't find the people I'm looking for (specific accounts)

Yeah Ive already done this, they don't appear when searching...is this method only usable for the website version?
I came find you like this from the Mastodon app.
Yes, we can follow Lemmy users from Mastodon.
Maybe the accounts you're looking for are in defederated instances?
No they should be on large federated instances too...but that is not my mastodon account, I have an account in a different instance for mastodon.
