Hi. I am excited about waveform.social.

I already use have an account at mastodon.social, which is another ActivityPub application. In theory, Lemmy and Mastodon should be able to "see" each other. It should be possible to look up a Lemmy user or community from Mastodon, see the posts, and reply to them. This will be ugly in the interfaces but it is expected to work.

If I go to mastodon.social, and I type @mcc@waveform.social into the search box, it does not recognize @mcc@waveform.social as a Fediverse address.

This is not a problem I have with other Lemmy servers. Other Lemmy servers I can at minimum look up the users and see their profiles (sometimes I cannot see the posts without following first). This makes me believe it is not a problem with the Lemmy software. Also, the problem is not limited to mastodon.social. Users on other Mastodon servers see the same problem. So this makes me believe it is not a problem with mastodon.social's moderation setup.
