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.

The nice thing about the fediverse is that if you find something else federated that you like, then you can just use it. You move to the new instance running the software you actually like, and resubscribe to the communities you like on the original instances.

There's already kbin as an alternative (the largest instance of that is at https://kbin.social/), I believe you can subscribe to lemmy and kbin communities using friendica, and I can already see a lot of other options coming down the pipe.

OTOH, I've been here for years. I chose to go all-in on the fediverse a couple years ago.
