I like these federated services being kinda "rough around the edges"
In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.
Being "harder"* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies' services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.
"harder" because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

It's definitely forced me to learn a lot within the past few days. I guess I should thank reddit, because if they hadn't forced the 3rd party apps out of business I wouldn't have ever heard of Lemmy or kbin.
After using Lemmy and kbin a little bit over the past few days, Lemmy seems to be a bit more stable at this point so I'm sticking with it for now. But with more development time, kbin might ultimately be where I head to.
You can subscribe to kbin "magazines" just like communities from other federated lemmy instances too, so you can view them all through lemmy.world or whichever instance you're on
