Confused about Federation (self.main)

Hey everyone. I am new to the "Fediverse" and I am confused about how Lemmy connects with PixelFed.

As I understand it, you should be able to interact with all the Fediverse platforms from just one platform, but I can't seem to figure out how to see stuff from Mastodon or Pixelfed here on Lemmy.

Similarly, I don't quite understand how to see stuff from Lemmy on Pixelfed. I created a Pixelfed account and tried searching for my Lemmy account over there and managed to find it, but I don't know how to log in to it or make changes to it.

Could someone explain this to me? I am very confused!

It's also early on for most of these platforms. They're relatively new, changing rapidly, and so it's harder to keep the platforms compatible with everything that's out there.

As an example, there have been a few improvements over the past short while around Mastodon-Lemmy compatibility

Once the software matures, I imagine it'll be easier to see the content in most popular formats
