So, bad news off the top, I just checked and couldn’t get it to work in Pixelfed. But, in most server software if you search for a post url, it’ll show the post even if it pre-dates your server’s awareness of the account. It works in both Mastodon and Friendica, for example.
Too bad. I’ve been trying to follow the accounts I was following on my pixelfed.social account but I can only find the one account that has posted recently.
It actually did work for me when I just tried it. I opened a particular post on a user, and pasted the link into the search on pixelfed.ca, and it’s available now.
Although the order is a bit weird since it appears above the most recent post, while still having the correct date attached. Maybe that gets fixed when something refreshes

Weird. I just tried it again and it worked too.
Maybe a weird glitch or I somehow messed up copying and pasting (awkward!).
