Comparison of platforms compatible with Lemmy+Mastodon ? (Mbin, Piefed, FediLab, etc.)

Lemmy developers have said there are no near plans for allowing users to follow mastodon or other activityPub networks, so I’m considering another platform that can do this.

It looks like mbin, Piefed and FediLab have the ability to do this. Has anyone tried them and have a comparison?

I also heard it may be possible to do from just mastodon-like platforms. Anyone tried this?

Mbin of course! I may be biased, since I created the fork and I'm a contributor to Mbin.

PieFed dev here - if you want to follow Mastodon accounts, I recommend Mbin.

About 20% of the content in piefed.socal comes from Mastodon but it's through indirect means (a.gup.pe groups, mastodon users @mention communities). Mastodon users can reply to PieFed posts and receive your replies to their comments.

I can't say that the ability to follow individual people is really something I care about, but coming from Piefed, it does seem to work just fine. So does Peertube and any of the other ones I've bothered to try.

I mean... you could contribute and write the feature

But if the feature already exists in another platform, I’d gladly use that instead.

Plus, lemmy developers said this would be a very difficult change to make and requires a lot of rewriting. I presume it is because activityPub was only added to lemmy much later on.

from the faq

Why 'moist'?! wtf is wrong with you?

It's comically unmarketable

the real reference is a bloom county comic storyline. the gang extracts sweat from a cat as a hair replacement tonic
