I don't think it should be a dilemma - but some do. I don't see why there can't be different corners of the Fediverse. This is my most isolated account here and I'm fine with that. I don't personally want or need integration with Mastodon. I'm glad mbin has that for people who do but I'm not interested in it. And I think it's kind of cool that there are different cultures within Fedi. Mastodon, Pixelfed, and Lemmy are all so different from each other and I don't think it's a problem to solve.
I know the ActivityPub authors were concerned about Mastodon getting so big because it only implements a small portion of the AP spec. So they're stoked that others are building out in ways that expand beyond the needs of microblogging.
