The only permanent platform on the internet is usenet.
Hopefully Lemmy matures into something beautiful, but if not, usenet will always be there!

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 am not completely sold on it personally but I'm willing to give it the old college try. I'm trying to find similar communities and subscribe to them.
OP check out wefwef.app. It’s basically Apollo for Lemmy.
Now it feels just like Reddit except with longer load times.
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.
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

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.
I couldn't agree more, stay on big tech if you can't accept both sides
Well unless their ideology is baked into the programming I'm not sure why it would matter. It certainly doesn't matter to me.

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.
I had no idea Aether existed. Thanks for the read!
I only found it earlier today! Seems to work? I'm interested to see how they deal with, you know, fascism and whatnot
Lemmy know if something better comes along
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.
