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

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?

Honestly I think there's pretty gold interop already between lemmy and mastodon. There's some difficulty with seeing the the images from each other primarily and a way to reply to cross post / boost a mastodon note into a lemmy post so that replies are visible by the op in mastodon would be a killer feature, but everything else works.

I kinda agree that following mastodon accounts is out of scope for lemmy as the concept of following the doesn't make sense within the link aggregate concept. It would require lemmy devs to add a whole microblogging architecture for follows to make sense.
