There's no following of users in PieFed, so in that sense it's more like Lemmy.
Comment on what instances allow you to follow users?

None of the Lemmy instances do. The software Lemmy does not support that.
But Mbin does. Mbin also works better with Mastodon.
I don’t know what Piefed supports.

That’s also why I use lemmy and not twatter/mastadon/any other clones. I’m not interested in some dudes random train of thoughts, I want X communities for Y interests I have. Not every person has exactly the same interests as me and I don’t really want to be bothered seeing that stuff.

But it’d be nice to follow institutions. Many European governments have their own Mastodon servers.

Institutions could be the only time I’d be interested in following “a person”. But at the same time they could just make their own community that only they can post in.
