The issue with JF is that it doesn't allow under-18. And just about every single proposal I've seen for a fannish-only site has ended up coming around to that same stance (which, really not surprising if you're going to allow explicit porn).
People also have issues with JF because it runs off a really old version of LJ and is somewhat limited in its way. Also, it hosts Fandom_Wank, which quite a few people hate with the fire of a thousand fire-y nuns armed with rulers and a big ol' frown.
I'd say it's a useful journal-style storage space for fanfic and fannish activities, and the owners are committed to protecting fannish interests, so you're less likely to be ToS'd over there. It's far less useful for non-fannish activities, I think.
The problem is, you need an invite code for a free account these days. I got my free account the last time the opened the servers for their 24 hours "mad period" that they hold occasionally (it was 2 years ago). There is a community over there where you can request invite codes from paying journal holders (because I'm free, I don't have an invite code to give) — but I don't know the name of the community or how to find it.
