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’m committed to ActivityPub. I don’t really care if the specific server backend ends up being lemmy, kbin, or something new.
A lot of people switched to lemmy recently, so the development focus is on scaling for now. It’ll probably take a while until that’s sorted out properly and the devs can focus on accessibility.
I think lemmy is a good place for this community because we don’t need to worry about big platforms overmoderating.
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 ;)
