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 like to remember how ugly and difficult it was to adjust to Reddit after moving from Digg’s slick 2.0 interface. I think Lemmy will face more growing pains but will be the best solution in the end.

    Reddit has literally never had a good UI/UX. It was worth it because it was the best alternative at the time.

    That said, my requirements for a reddit alternative would have to be decentralized and open source. I just couldn’t get into another situation like this one and I won’t support it.

      I’m hoping some of the 3rd party talent that Reddit threw away will contribute and help refine the Lemmy experience.

        They’ve already begun work, and I’m excited to see it too! SyncForLemmy and Artemis are my top two right now

          Yeah, saw about sync. I’m still hoping for RIF. Jerboa is pretty close, but I’d love for a few changes
