Fairly good actually. Im using the italian instance Feddit and its quick and easy to use. The actual issue is the lack of good clients

just got my signup approved, the ui is awesome and the dark mode this place has won't destroy my eyes during night shift. it's a bit slower than reddit but that's fine
Unfortunately, I've been getting some 404 not found
of some communities/magazines of some instances that are not from the instance I'm using, e.g. I'm using kbin.social
at the current posting account, but let's say that I tried to access something like https://sh.itjust.works/c/skincareaddiction
there's no issues whatsoever (since it's the main instance where that community spawned off) but if I tried https://kbin.social/m/skincareaddiction@sh.itjust.works
then I would get the aforementioned error code. I find it pretty inconvenient that caching/indexing of certain less popular (which I assume is what is happening) community working clunkily, it feels not as reliable than using a centralized service, but I guess that this is the price to pay for a decentralized system.
My biggest complaints are all UI based. I wish the UI felt a bit less crowded, and there was a setting that would instead load up pages that don't auto-update.
People and posts here are better. Tech experience is worse. The web interface is worse (too much broken JS and websocket crap), I can't login from a mobile browser, the federation scheme is confusing, the Android app story is not there yet, Jerboa doesn't support older phones that still work perfectly well with RedReader, yada yada. I have somewhat more retro tastes than probably most of the younguns here, so my thoughts are heading towards writing my own desktop front end. But I don't feel like I want to attempt mobile development.
Very buggy, but overall a lot more user-friendly than I expected. The fediverse was a bit difficult to grasp as a concept (especially since all the explanations love to say that it's like email, which it's not, and then refuse to clarify further), but I think I got it now. Overall I can see myself moving entirely to lemmy.
The apps are still young. Wefwef’s save button is broken sometimes. Mlem doesn’t have a search, but it does have a weird text box that does nothing. Links in both open a post in an embedded web browser that I’m not signed in in. That being said, it shows great promise and I’m excited to watch us grow.
My only confusion or concern so far is duplicate communities amongst diff servers.
It doesn't match reddit yet but it's alright
