When following a lemmy.ml comm from Mastodon, it submits a "follow request" instead of just following by default. (lemmy.ml)

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?

Edit: Ignore this for now, I thought I'd gotten past the original issue.

Next question is how to get content from the comm to show up in my Mastodon feed after I follow.

I understand that being the first person on my instance to follow a comm will mean that my instance won't preview any content, however I'm not seeing anything pop up yet now that I'm following.

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.
