Follow accounts through birdsite bridges (lemm.ee)

When searching for relevant accounts, I often come across users on Twitter/X with a birdsite mastodon bridge such as @firefox@birdsite.monster, which seems to be the most followed Firefox account on mastodon.

However, this account has no visible posts, and when I follow it I get a “Pending”.

How does this work? Thanks

Birdside Live was a service that mirrors posts from Twitter to the Fediverse. birdsite.monster is down so you're not able to follow anyone anymore. You can use @twitterhandle@bird.makeup instead.

Thanks that’s useful to know. Is the bird.maleup supposés to be working for all Twitter accounts? I’ve tries searching for multiple accounts with the naming below on mastodon and never find anything. Is it something they first have to activate from their end?

bird.makeup. Yes, it works with any Twitter-account, but needs a long while to get updated. It it's not working by searching for @twitteruser@bird.makeup you can also manually add the account on https://bird.makeup/.
