How do I follow/subscribe to them on lemmy?

Lemmy currently doesn't allow you to follow individuals. As kbin does, it is probably a feature we will see in the future.

For now you'd need a Mastodon, kbin or Calckey account (I recommend the last one).

How do I see lemmy from calckey ?

Search for a community just like you would elsewhere.

This place would be @fediverse@kbin.social, so you'd search that to find this place on the fediverse. Lemmy communities use the same format.

Okay so this is the first time I'm actually interested in following a Mastadon account via kbin. Um....this is what microblog is for right? Is there a place I can see posts from just my followers?

Search for their name and click/tap Follow.

But, then what ?

That's the catch, isn't it? Like subscribed magazines it's not easy nor obvious to find the people you've followed. I think the only thing following does is adds them to your "following" list, which you can only find in your profile.

The mastodon-type posts/microblogs are less well developed at this point. It's a recent feature added to the software before the reddit blow up, if I remember right

Things are moving fast for kbin and lemmy, but right now it feels like nothing is moving fast enough. It's tough being patient.
