ELI5 How to link Pixelfed and Calckey (self.fediverse)

Hi there! I am pretty new to the Fediverse, spinning up an account on Mastodon in November of last year, moving to Calckey about 1.5 months ago.

I do photography, which I share on Calckey, but I thought I would also go into Pixelfed. I believe you can follow accounts / link them somehow from both services. However whenever I search for my Pixelfed account on Calckey, it cannot find the user.

Or am I just completely misunderstanding how it works. I created my pixelfed account on Pixelfed.social, and I actually follow a few people from that instance on my Calckey account, which is when I got very confused.

Yes, that should work.
I also use Calckey and follow my Pixelfed accounts.
Linking is something else, it doesn't work like that.

Can you please give me your Pixelfed account so that I can follow it?

it works, you must always write the name handle with @ name @instance.
I found you immediately under @frames@pixelfed.social

Follow your account and when you post new pictures, share it and more people can see it and do what you do with it
