True, but following the instance directly can be a bit of a firehose of information since you get ALL posts and comments, we wanted to have a place to alert for scheduled maintenance, events, and stuff like that.

Yea, following the site in Mastodon is suboptimal. I'm kind of waiting to see how all this stuff shakes out. I don't like creating accounts everywhere, so I'm looking at kbin, lemmy, or just staying on mastodon. Depends on where the software goes.

Maybe I'll be proven wrong in time, but I think the core functionalities of Lemmy and Mastodon are different enough that (a) I find it hard to imagine an interoperability solution that's fully satisfactory, and (b) having an account for each makes sense to me, just as it made sense to have accounts on both Twitter and Reddit before they collapsed into their respective pits of despair.

I'm used to painful browsing. I keep my systems pretty locked down, so I'm always twiddling knobs to see what I want. What I envision is a tabbed interface where I could have startrek.website in a non logged in tab, with my logged in mastodon acct in another. I click on the federation link in startrek, and it automatically populates my mastodon acct to make a reply. A cursory look at kbin looks like it might work like that, but I need to spend the time studying it.
