No, i can follow and post to mastodon accounts from here, and I’ve posted my cat to !cat from my mastodon, sometimes you lose certain fields (mastodon doesn’t really know what to do with upvotes, so it doesn’t display them when I’m logged into mastodon) but the post works fine on lemmy. I also follow peertube accounts from my mastodon too

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !cat@lemmy.world
