[is this a bug?] how do i see lemmy content from mastodon (feddit.org)

So i'm trying to see lemmy content from a mastodon server.

I go to https://troet.cafe/ (which is one of the larger german-speaking mastodon servers), register an account there, enter https://lemmy.world/c/shitpost into the search field, it displays a user. So far so good.

However, when i click on that user, it does not display any content. Following that user does not seem to change that so far.

("Keine Beiträge vorhanden!" means there are no posts)

Is this a bug? Is this an intended feature? In that case, why?

What's weird is that this seems to work with some other communities. For example, when i enter https://feddit.org/c/dach (which is the largest german-speaking community), it does display posts and comments.

I have yet to understand what causes the difference in behavior.

It is possible that you are the first user to ever follow that community on your mastodon instance. If you wait a couple days, new posts should appear in it.

Normally, in Lemmy, when a new community is fetched, the latest 20 posts are fetched as well. This doesn't seem to be the case for mastodon as far as I can see.

Mastodon's implementation of outboxes is broken, the Devs don't seem to have any intention of fixing it.

nvm i'm stupid. i followed the wrong account. i tried following the @shitpost@lemmy.world account when i actually should have followed the @lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world account. note the subtle difference in account names. it's entirely a fault on my side.
