Apparently Lemmy doesn't do signed fetches yet: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/help-improving-federation-between-lemmy-and-other-projects/2308/39
I guess that explains it.
That would explain it. It also means Lemmy would already have issue federating with people on certain Mastodon instances if those run in "secure mode", i.e have https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#authorized_fetch enabled. Pleroma has a similar setting as do most other implementations, though it's not enabled by default.
I suspect that's likely to change over time though so the longer it goes unimplemented in Lemmy the more federation issues users will experience. There are a couple of Rust crates available that implement HTTP signatures so hopefully the Lemmy devs wouldn't have to do this from scratch.

FYI signed fetch will be supported in Lemmy soon (probably in 0.19.0), but will have to be enabled by instance admins.
