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.

    I am committed to federated services from here on out. I am personally really liking lemmy… There are some minor annoyances but nothing major. The mobile browsing experiences makes me pretty cozy. With the dark theme it’s not too far from rif. Apps and plugins are coming that will make it that next special thing. Like I couldn’t imagine aliensite without old and res. It’s coming… I’m loving it.

      I’m a week into having setup my own personal instance and LOVING Lemmy. The community, the software stack, federation, all of it. I don’t visit reddit daily anymore (15 year old reddit account to be deleted this week once 3rd party apps get shut down).

        Exact same situation (Instance been about 3 weeks now). I went back to the alien.site once to make a throw away account to update a community where I had a loose end. Besides that I haven’t been back. I had a alien.site account for like 12 years. Basically was my internet. I am loving it here.
