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.

I love it. It’s missing a lot of the things I disliked about the other place which is fantastic. It’s reasonably barebones by comparison and I am totally fine with it.
The only issue I have is some of my interests aren’t represented here (or I haven’t found them yet) and that’s something that will come with time or me actually putting in a bit of effort to create. Not the platform’s fault.
The apps will dictate where people go. It's only natural
If I'm being honest, I can see myself switching pretty quickly. I'm still pretty new to all this Fediverse stuff and changes happen all the time.
The main thing that irks me about Lemmy right now is the UI and the latency. I've used Jerboa, and now I'm using Liftoff and I'm really not a fan of the UI. I was a Boost for Reddit user, so if Boost was somehow reworked for Lemmy, I'd be more than happy to use it (I'm not trying to demand this, just saying that's what I'd like to see in apps).
The other issue is latency. The dbzer0 instance is already pretty damn slow for me, but even lemmy.world takes so long for loading comments and posting is the most annoying.
i do hope its here to stay, having to constantly switch platforms is a pain in the ass
Sorry to hear about your accessibility issues. Have you tried any of the apps that have cropped up for testing? Some seem to have very active devs and would probably be happy to listen to how they could help your troubles.
Is it me or is it kind of sad that we seem to enter an era of non-descriptive platform names?
Like, what is a Mastodon? Twitter was a cool name. Tweets on Twitter, that just sounded right. It's definitely not the name that caused the platforms downfall... Facebook, MySpace, Reddit, Snpachat, Tumblr, Twitter, Youtube - I like creative but descriptive names for platforms. Now we have Tiktok, Mastodon, Lemmy and stuff like that. Meh.
I mean, the fundamental platform is the fediverse, so there's that.
