I have a pretty good experience with Friendica (squeet.me instance). Lately I haven’t been using it very often though. The problem is that I find the Friendica UI cluttered and more importantly the implementation of the ActivityPub protocol seems to be lacking since it missed a lot of toots from friends on Mastodon making discussions hard to follow. The Diaspora protocol in Friendica seemed to work flawless though. I wrote a small blog post about Friendica/Diaspora experience (https://homehack.nl/when-to-use-friendica-over-diaspora/).
I wouldn’t say that Diaspora is dead. According to Fediverse.party it still has over 60.000 users and in my experience the content and interaction can be rather good.
