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!

I'm no expert here, but that looks like a Mastodon link, and Lemmy itself doesn't federate with Mastodon. They both use activity pub, but it's not the same content. I think kbin does both.
