@ALimnell 1. Reason they don't show up could be because the Pixelfed instance your on, blocked the one that they're on or vice versa. Also could be a moderated single account.
2. Reason you don't see their posts is probably because nobody from your instance followed them yet. Fediverse works by follow relationships and posts are only sent to instances that "request" them via following or boosting. To remedy this, if you can see the user but not the posts, you can copy the link to the post and paste it in your instances search bar, which should pull the post to your instance so you can interact with it.
Hope this is clear enough and helps you understand.

@olea @BeAware @ALimnell it's also a big part of why it doesn't cost 30 million USD to set up a new instance on the fediverse (like it does with bsky), but is instead something I could do in my home with hardware for less then a hundred. There are some downsides to a decentral protocol, but I think that during the last weeks the upsides have become pretty clear.
