quick question but I've read that lemmy federates with both mastodon and peertube (I have checked and can find myself here: https://mastodon.social/@[email protected] but I am unable to see any users from mastodon or peertube.

Search failing on lemmy:
Screenshot of a search for "@torvalds@social.kernel.org" returning nothing

Same search on mastodon.social:
Screenshot of the same search successfully returning the user's profile

Is there something I'm doing wrong or has federation not been implemented both ways as of yet?

There's no way for you to follow a Fediverse account from Lemmy, at this time; however, as you know, it does work the other way around.

are there any plans for this? I had a quick look around the GH and I couldn't really find anything conclusive.

Sorry, I don't know. 😕 There is a Lemmy-like project called kbin which has that ability, from what I've read others say, but it's not as mature as Lemmy (which still has several rough edges). I don't speak from experience though -- I haven't checked it out yet.

I've looked at kbin, but things take a long time to federate through to it. it's still early days for it (same for lemmy, but kbin doesn't feel nearly as mature) and if I'm going to migrate to another fediverse platform it might as well be mastodon :/
