Confused about Federation (lemmy.ca)

Hey everyone. I am new to the "Fediverse" and I am confused about how Lemmy connects with PixelFed.

As I understand it, you should be able to interact with all the Fediverse platforms from just one platform, but I can't seem to figure out how to see stuff from Mastodon or Pixelfed here on Lemmy.

Similarly, I don't quite understand how to see stuff from Lemmy on Pixelfed. I created a Pixelfed account and tried searching for my Lemmy account over there and managed to find it, but I don't know how to log in to it or make changes to it.

Could someone explain this to me? I am very confused!

Immediate thought that comes to mind is that you can follow the Lemmy and Pixelfed accounts from your Mastodon, which would give you some ease in accessing their posts via Mastodon, and then boost the posts from there.

Hope that helps a bit, tbf cross-platform interactions like this are something I have very limited experience with.
