New-ish (I joined during the reddit hooplah a while back) and my experience has been hit or miss.

I'm on my third instance. First I joined lem.ee and that got shut down. Then I joined midwest.social because I thought hey I'm a Midwest leftist, but that instance has been slow as shit and never loads for me. Tried on multiple lemmy clients with the same result. So now here I am on lemmy.world.

Federation is a good concept but I don't think it will ever catch on on a large scale. It's just too user-unfriendly.

    No judgement here but what didnt work for you? Just the slowness? Or some other thing that made it hard to use?

    Nothing ever loaded. Most of the time it would timeout, best case scenario it took a good 30-60 seconds to load a single comments section. Tried on several different clients and it was always the same for that instance.
