Don't think so, also not sure how Mastodon feeds work with Lemmy as they aren't really upvoted/downvoted on. Though the opposite works where you can follow communities/accounts from Mastodon.

This is brilliant. I hope we see more countries doing the same thing :)
Maybe they could make accounts be tied to residency or citizenship, and perhaps have communities that only allow posting to those accounts to reduce bot spam and foreign meddling. Maybe that's a terrible idea, but it will be interesting to see where this goes, and if activity pub will be sufficient or need extending.
If I understood this correct from my interpretation of the dutch server description this is an Instance for dutch government officials.
At least Germany also has such a mastodon instance too for quite a while now. So people on mastodon know that an account there is officially a government account. The BSI (German Office for cyber security) and other offices post there.
This is not an Instance for "normal people" to register on.

Damn a government that actually do something in terms of digitilization.
Cries in German …
It's weird that you use Germany as an example when Germany has been on Mastodon since 2020 at https://social.bund.de!
TIL that I am a proud German citizen. Our government is leading the digital transition in Europe. 🇩🇪

UK government has been taken over by WhatsApp and Twitter - our official inquiries have to beg for access to WhatsApp to see what's going on in gov. Love to see them switch - they could have more control of data retention and promote innovation.

I would love US governments / states to start their own instance on the fediverse. Talk about explosive growth to this community.
Can wait to see mass adoption of fediverse over other countries to provide updates
I want to see Canada next!
