So you’ve got a link to what you think is an ActivityPub enabled item - either a post or a profile.
You can paste this link into your search interface*.
Ivory is bad at this, Mastodon, Ice Cubes, Toot! are good at detecting this, letting you find and follow Lemmy, PeerTube, MicroDotBlog, probably WordPress in the future.
Mastodon native app is good at search…BUT pretty much opens everything in browser 🤦♂️🤷♂️
*This “paste into search” is the expert flow on web front ends
