Question for any #Friendica users: do you find it slow? I've only been poking at it up until now and I don't know if the slowness is down to the instance I picked.

Friendica is slow.
@abominabledrh Over the past few years i've had various #Friendica instances [various servers (i do not self host)]. Some have been better than others, but all of them drove me bonkers with their latency. It was commonplace that posts i'd send could take minuteS to finish sending [vs instant in every Masto instance i've used], new posts arriving would often be minuteS behind in Masto [& for the worst instances, frequently several hours out of date!!!]. Also, two of the instances eventually failed with corrupted databases & so the instances permanently closed, another recently went offline for many days with a corrupted database & eventually could only be restored from an old backup [thus losing all recent data], another two instances were chronically unreliable for hours or several days at a time. All these PITA issues sucked the pleasure away for me, & were a major reason i eventually returned to Masto, despite the many advantages that Friendica does have. It's a pity.
@MsDropbear42 Yep, that squares with what I'm finding. "Latency" is a polite term for it - and it's not consistent. If it regularly took 45 seconds to note that I've liked a post I might learn to live with it, but it's not consistent.
