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.

If I'm being honest, I can see myself switching pretty quickly. I'm still pretty new to all this Fediverse stuff and changes happen all the time.

The main thing that irks me about Lemmy right now is the UI and the latency. I've used Jerboa, and now I'm using Liftoff and I'm really not a fan of the UI. I was a Boost for Reddit user, so if Boost was somehow reworked for Lemmy, I'd be more than happy to use it (I'm not trying to demand this, just saying that's what I'd like to see in apps).

The other issue is latency. The dbzer0 instance is already pretty damn slow for me, but even lemmy.world takes so long for loading comments and posting is the most annoying.
