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.

    Kbin is much more polished already.

    It really isn’t. It just has a nicer UI.

      Not just the UI.

      i think it is really nice that you can use a time filter of 3h, 6h,12h 1d in kbin.
      This makes finding new content so much easier without having the raw state of new
