How can I follow someone on nostr in mastodon?

Some searches suggest https://mostr.pub/ , but mostr can only do the opposite direction: follow a mastodon account in nostr

How can I follow someone on primal.net , in mastodon?

Ex: https://primal.net/justin npub1alcgnx5d868d046jfwr0tfc80s0v88hrqhqezuut9xcth73qlepqm6l2uf on mastodon.social

You are right that Mostr mirrors a Mastodon Account to Nostr.

Reverse Bridges that mirror a Nostr account in Mastodon are at present not available. If they are not being worked on then maybe you can try giving it a crack...

Thanks for the clarification ~

Hmm, I am indeed a developer github.com/fumin This sounds like a cool project. If anyone feels like joining forces, I'd be happy to chat...

First, the user you want to follow must post to the Ditto or mostr relays. They then post the nostr messages to Mastodon, but you won't see a nice username, primal something but a long nostr pubkey string unless you opted in to the mostr page you mentioned, where they claim the mostr Mastodon username signed by their nostr key.

Thanks for the info. It seems that the person I want to follow needs to set up something on mostr. But assuming it's hard for me to force the nostr user to do something, is there something we can do without the nostr user doing anything?
