It doesn't feel ready for mass adoption.
The difficulty of finding ~~subreddits~~communities is a problem. And, when you do find one, nine times out of ten the link you click takes you to a different Lemmy server, from which you cannot join the community.
And then there's the problem of fragmentation and duplication, which has been explained better by other users on this thread.
There are lots of little problems here and there, like the language defaulting to "Undetermined" which hides your post from everyone who just naively selected English.
Fortunately, I'm (reasonably) technically-competent so I can make it work for me, and I recognise that even getting this far with development is a massive achievement. But I'm pretty sure the average internet user isn't going to stick around until the project's a bit more polished and mature.
