I think ActivityPub states that you must follow a user for their posts to federate, but Lemmy currently doesn't give a way to follow users only communities, so it will probably eventually work
(I think technically communities are fake users that retweet/boost the posts to them?)
I didn't see any content when I tried it before posting, so I figured to just leave it out. You're right, though. Hopefully, as Lemmy evolves, we'll have a way to follow or "subscribe to" Mastodon users like we do communities.
He may be doing it manually, it wouldn't be the first time. When he first got banned from twitter and started publishing on Mastodon he was doing all the updates by hand for a while.
Long term there are ways and means that it could be done via the html front end, it would probably take a little bit more monitoring but there seem to be plenty of people willing to help him!
It's how plane tracking works, all flights are tracked in real time. Once the one he's on has been pointed out you can track it on various apps and services.
See? Not everyone on social media is a bigot. Some of us hate rich people as much as you do, or at least as much as you would if you knew how shitty you have to be to people to become a billionaire.
