I’m sure you know this, but for the benefit of folk who don’t: Mastodon is about building your own “algorithm” by simply following the sort of stuff that you’d want to see while scrolling. The important thing to remember is you can follow stuff not just people. Search for a hashtag, for example, and you can follow that as if it were a Twitter user. But to really get the most of it you can expand out and follow other ActivityPub things like Lemmy communities, Pixelfed users/albums, Peertube, etc.
To answer your question: I find following things on mastodon is better for consumption than commenting when it comes to Lemmy/Kbin posts. Commenting directly on the post is easy and you see all the primary replies, but finding replies of replies (and further down) gets tedious fast. But I still follow the Lemmy community for my city and a couple meme heavy ones via my Mastodon account.

Are you using this as a Lemmy user or Mastodon?
Mastodon comments are pretty easy to spot because they all tag a user at the beginning of the comment. At least for the moment, anyway.
Ohhh I was wondering why they did that. Thanks.

I’m currently using my Lemmy account but I have a mas.to account also. Sometimes I like them being seperate, sometimes not.
