According to this comment, this has been an intermittent issue from the initial introduction of federation several weeks back: https://lemmy.ml/post/89740/comment/105555

Have we figured out why this is happening yet?

    You can’t follow users, only groups/communities. You can paste a Lemmy URL into mastodon search bar to load the post for sharing or commenting

      Neither of these things is working for me at the moment, have you been able to use it yourself?

        Yes, I’ve been able to follow multiple communities, though only top level posts seem to be federated out.
