Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

No one really knows how things will play out but I was wondering if people are committed to Lemmy, or would the mod team migrate to greener pastures if a better, more functional alternative comes to the forefront.

I'm hoping Lemmy can improve but I personally don't love using it. Its still early days though so that might change. There are a couple promising alternatives in development right now but since they aren't out, everyone is migrating to lemmy.

As someone with a disability, the UI/UX is problematic and makes me physically ill after using it for a short period of time.

Looking at other fedi apps like Mastodon, accessibility and UI/UX will soon follow. Which is promising.

But yes, it's the early days of Lemmy and maybe even the fediverse. So we'll see what the future brings ;)

I started on Mastodon last year and watching it increase in size by orders of magnitude over the last several months has been a beautiful thing to watch. I am thrilled Lemmy has taken off, finally. The fediverse has restored my faith in humanity quite a bit and consuming it feels healthier, there is no way I am going back to centralised platforms. Come to mastodon and get a glimpse at what Lemmy may become. :)

Was talking to my non-techie wife yesterday and she asked what I was working on. I said "replacing reddit." I explained the reddit situation and then we talked about alternative social networking and I was shocked she knew what Mastodon was AND said a lot of people were moving there!

Welcome the normies, we need them too. :)

it DOES feel healthier, doesn't it? since starting here yesterday, i have been retraining my hand to not click on reddit. but honestly, i don't even want to.

i am willing to commit to lemmy.

I’ve been naturally gravitating towards lemmy the last few days, it’s really refreshing. I’ve not had to check myself as I’m reaching to open Apollo at all recently

100% agree!

Can you get Mastodon and Lemmy working together? Like is there a way to see them in the same feed?

@cccc @fossilesque i'm reading you from my mastodon home feed since i'm following @piracy as if it were a user

You can follow users and communities and I think communicate from mastodon to lemmy, but you cant really follow from lemmy, yet. I do believe there are ways to comment, though. if you search the community or user name on mastodon (eg xyz@instance.org) then it should pop up.
