I tried out a growing Reddit alternative, Lemmy, for a week, and its clear that federated apps aren't ready to replace Reddit yet.

Yeah, this describes my experience so far. I really want to like it here, but so far it’s been an effort.

I am using Mastadon more, hopefully with time we see a similar level of polish. However, even there it don’t see a dent in Twitter.

    Bluesky is in beta, it isn’t even out yet. But somehow it has already suffered a fate?

    New things like Mastodon, Bluesky, and Kbin don’t have to kill the current things in order to be successful. We don’t have to rule the world, we don’t have to be perfect on day 1.

      I think the biggest thing probably tempering Bluesky at the moment is a queue that is 3+ months at a time to actually get in. It’s creeping close to ~6 on my end and still nothing.

      I still intend on swapping, but most people are going to lose interest in that period of time and just stay on Twitter.
