Like when OP complains about the user experience with the example of accessing a not-yet-federated community, clearly a mechanical problem that can’t easily be fixed by a redesign, and the replies advertise alternate Lemmy frontends or apps. Those don’t help with OP’s issue at all.

The first point of that comment is about the interface, hence the suggestions to alternative frontends.

The community was federated, but the user wasn’t using their local version, they thought they had to use the community host instance.
