It might be empty because your instance doesn’t get posts by that account, iirc it starts when someone follows the other account. In other words, if no one on your home instance is already following them, your instance doesn’t have their old posts. I might be wrong though.
Can I follow the Commission on Mastodon via Lemmy?
Well you can see their account on Lemmy, but it shows as empty: @[email protected]
I think you could only see posts if they were made to a Lemmy community.
Also, I think you can’t even follow Lemmy accounts on Lemmy, right?
But maybe all this is possible from a Piefed or kbin instance?

You can’t follow users from Lemmy. Only groups aka communities.
