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.

Yes, im also not a fan of the site. I never heard of it before and trying to figure out how this site works is kind of a hassle. Im committed to learn how to sail on this pirate ship at least, but if we happen to find a better option ill probably follow the captain and the crew

I'm not a fan of it. I have three separate accounts on lemmy servers. I don't like the separation of different servers that are happening and I feel like it's all a big mess. I know it can improve but so far I'm not impressed. I also agree with others that it is very slow in terms of performance.

Not a mod so you might not care about my opinion but...

I don't hate lemmy and hope it will continue to improve but at the same time, I still feel the UI is a bit minimal and lacking on a lot of features right now (TBF probably some of it is me getting used to it still). Some of this works in its favor tho.. like if I created a new account on reddit, I'd have to deal with all the karma bs again before I could even post to most subs. Here, this is my first post on this instance, and no problems AFAICT... which is really fucking awesome IMO. Other things, like how to show all communities sorted by # of subscribers or how I search for a specific phrase in a specific community (like "rootless docker" + "qbittorrent" in c/Piracy for instance), I am still a bit unclear if there is even a way to do that.

I don't see anything overtaking lemmy immediately. kbin is the next closest one I can think of that is open-source + federated and not controlled by a company and I think it is even less smooth than lemmy right now. There's mastodon but IMO that is more twitter alternative than reddit alternative.

But I guess if something came along that checked all the right boxes (foss, federated, markdown, long-form comments, more features, etc) then I would at least be open to considering it.

There's plenty of apps now and if you want a web app have you tried wefwef?

Sorry, should have clarified... I meant on desktop site via browser.

I'd move. I don't like how lemmy is setup.

[–] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

then set up your own instance

I'd move to something else. This place is ugly to the eyes imo. I prefer the mesage board style over this.
