For example, I can paste @seahorse@lemmy.ml (for a user), https://lemmy.ml/post/55143 (for a post), or @opensource@lemmy.ml (for a community) into Mastodon search and get back an account that shows up as a link or a post that I can interact with. If I try this with midwest.social, I don’t see anything.
I’ve tried sending a message from this account to an account on Mastodon (@creek@mspsocial.net) and it doesn’t seem to make it.
Hmm, I don’t know. I’ve never used mastodon. How do we test this?

I sent 2 messages to @creek@mspsocial.net. Did you happen to get those?
No. :-( I’m asking the admin over here.
Also, my handle is @lemmy@midwest.social. Seahorse is what my visible name is.
Yup, I caught that eventually.

Looks like lemmy.ml will federate with the Mastodon instance in question. Maybe this issue is related? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1909
