Determining the best fit for Mastodon instances.

1

PixelFed

Pixelfed is much simpler, but it's focus is on image sharing. If you website is primarily about pictures, then this could work. But if your content is primarily text first, this might not be a good option.

Friendica

Friendica is powerful, but it's also very complex. If your primary goal for the server is simple discussions about your website, Friendica might be more than you need.

WriteFreely

If you're looking to publish long form content, you should also look at Write Freely. It's a blogging platform where the fediverse is baked in from the start. The plug-in you found will work great, especially when paired with a Mastodon instance. But it might be worth a look if you haven't seen it already. (That said it sounds like you want to deeply structure your content, so Write Freely might not be enough for your goals anyways.).
