I'd assume people move when something better comes around.
But "better, more functional" is a relative term. Not sure that many here would be willing to forgo federation, and thus the independence from corporations, which especially don't like piracy.
Btw, have you specifically told people what about the UI/UX you find problematic, so that it could be improved?
And has kbin the same issue for you (as it federates as well, you can travel this community through kbin just fine)
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.
Im 100% all in on lemmy and its replaced reddit in its entirety for me and works well using the lemmy app. I also have enough content here to satisfy me so will not be moving unless this stops.
I think the end-goal should be that it doesn't matter. Choosing a social media app like reddit, lemmy, twitter, mastodon etc shouldn't matter any more than choosing a web browser. All the content should still be there regardless of which platform a user chooses to use to experience it.
What is great about Lemmy is that anyone could sit down right now and improve the UI/UX.
I'm thinking of moving to kbin, partly because of all the "defederation" talk on my instance, but also because kbin has a microblog and I like their interface more.
That being said, lemmy is awesome and will keep improving.
Just don't move to the kbin.social instance, I'm already starting to get worried since it's an absolute monopoly castle on kbin
Lemmy know if something better comes along
It fills a slightly different niche but there is also aether. I think Lemmy and Aether complement each other. Lemmy federates with other applications but Aether is ephemeral and takes advantage of P2P topology and and cryptography.
Do you mean just Lemmy or the fediverse as a whole? Cause I hear some complaints about the ethics of the Lemmy creators and some people are switching to kbin which is still in the fediverse. So I can see people jumping ship to kbin but I already made my Lemmy account and don't really care to switch at the moment. I'm not entirely sure what the situation with Lemmy creators is anyways
Idk why this comment got so much downvotes.
I'm assuming some kind of politics are involved with the stuff I mentioned, but like I said, I'm not sure what's going on there but the fact I even mentioned it obviously is enough to trigger one side of the little war going on there
I absolutely understand why they hate commies/tankies, however If we already start beating down communities that heavily, then we are on a rough start. Let's just accept our differences and learn from eachother.
Well unless their ideology is baked into the programming I'm not sure why it would matter. It certainly doesn't matter to me.
I'm interested to know specifically what about the UI/UX makes you physically ill? Even as someone without a physical disability I can see issues, but would love to hear more about your perspecive.
OP check out wefwef.app. It’s basically Apollo for Lemmy.
Now it feels just like Reddit except with longer load times.
I kind of feel like it's in the nature of all things piracy-related to be ready to pick up and relocate on short notice whenever necessary. Things tends to get shut down, taken over or enshitified all the time, and the only solution is to just move the tent down the road.
As someone with a disability, the UI/UX is problematic and makes me physically ill after using it for a short period of time.
Rest assured many developers are working on more accessible mobile apps. I'm not too sure about the web version, though.
