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.

Wait. What's kbin? I've seen "@kbin.social" a few times here and assumed kbin must be a lemmy instance?

Im not 100% sure but I believe it's like its own platform that's part of the fediverse and is also similar to reddit the same way Lemmy is

The nice thing is that whichever you choose, you can still interact with people on either side so I might as well stick around here just cause I'm too lazy to make another account

Just like Lemmy and mastodon, kbin is a platform that also uses ActivityPub, which means it can talk to all other platforms that use ActivityPub.

Those platforms and their instances make up the fediverse and since your lemmy instance is configured to federate with kbin, you can see and interact with the posts and comments made from kbin. The same is true the other way around.
