How to I subscribe to a user on a federated server while on lemmy.world? (lemmy.world)

Suppose I want to subscribe to: https://masto.ai/@rbreich

How do I do that from the web browser version of lemmy.world? I try going to that site and can't subscribe unless I'm a member of masto.ai. If I search for user on lemmy I find him, but there's no obvious subscribe mechanism.

Thanks!

Again, I'm not an expert, but I believe the issue is that, while they both use activity pub so they can theoretically interact, not much of that functionally has been implemented yet. I'm reading that mastodon users can follow Lemmy communities, but I'm not seeing anything the other direction.

Probably a good feature request, though right now I think the developers are busy fixing the bugs uncovered by this month's unscheduled stress test.
