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.

Update: I can now answer one of my own questions, in case anybody else was also puzzled.

how I search for a specific phrase in a specific community (like “rootless docker” + “qbittorrent” in c/Piracy for instance)

Mostly, I was confused bc I was on reddit too long and I was expecting a way to do this from within the community I would like to search through. You can still do it but you have to click on Communities from site header menu, then choose Comments (or you can pick Posts but then replies to posts will not be searched) , then under the Community dropdown search and select the one you want, last enter your search term(s) and click Search.

I probably need to go find some documentation and see if lemmy searches support more advanced stuff like AND / OR / negation / etc or if only simple searches are possible right now, but it's a start.
