How to I subscribe to a user on a federated server while on lemmy.world? (lemmy.world)

Suppose I want to subscribe to: https://masto.ai/@rbreich

How do I do that from the web browser version of lemmy.world? I try going to that site and can't subscribe unless I'm a member of masto.ai. If I search for user on lemmy I find him, but there's no obvious subscribe mechanism.

Thanks!

I'm no expert here, but that looks like a Mastodon link, and Lemmy itself doesn't federate with Mastodon. They both use activity pub, but it's not the same content. I think kbin does both.

Can't yet, afaik, though mastodon users can follow lemmy users. I searched around a bit trying to figure out a way, and didn't find one

That’s a great question, I’d love to know the answer as well.

So looks like it's not possible at the moment? I can't seem to find a kbin/lemmy/mastadon combined client for PC or Android?

Argh, this is why I can't ever get into Linux/BSD, etc. Just so many variants, and they go through cycles on which is popular.
