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.

The apps will dictate where people go. It's only natural

I'm not committed to a fuck if something better come up i will move my shit to there that's it i am not a fandead of anything.

Yes, im also not a fan of the site. I never heard of it before and trying to figure out how this site works is kind of a hassle. Im committed to learn how to sail on this pirate ship at least, but if we happen to find a better option ill probably follow the captain and the crew

Is it me or is it kind of sad that we seem to enter an era of non-descriptive platform names?

Like, what is a Mastodon? Twitter was a cool name. Tweets on Twitter, that just sounded right. It's definitely not the name that caused the platforms downfall... Facebook, MySpace, Reddit, Snpachat, Tumblr, Twitter, Youtube - I like creative but descriptive names for platforms. Now we have Tiktok, Mastodon, Lemmy and stuff like that. Meh.

I mean, the fundamental platform is the fediverse, so there's that.

It's still early but I wouldn't expect the community to suddenly move to something new/better in the very near future. People here are still getting used to Lemmy/Fediverse.

Personally I'm happy with how things are progressing but you're right, stuff like UI/UX needs more fine tuning.. I'd expect it to get better as things go on. Also keep in mind since everything is federated here you could technically still participate via any other software that is also federated to Lemmy (signing up to a Kbin instance would be the closest at the moment).

i do hope its here to stay, having to constantly switch platforms is a pain in the ass

I'm not a fan of it. I have three separate accounts on lemmy servers. I don't like the separation of different servers that are happening and I feel like it's all a big mess. I know it can improve but so far I'm not impressed. I also agree with others that it is very slow in terms of performance.

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'd move. I don't like how lemmy is setup.

[-] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

then set up your own instance

I'd move to something else. This place is ugly to the eyes imo. I prefer the mesage board style over this.
