Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

Come on, give it some time. It's coming a long way, and devs are working their ass off to deliver some quality updates.

Also, there are a dozen apps in the works for iOS and Android that are to be released soon, if that's not already the case. So you should have more choice to pick a better experience browsing lemmy in the coming days.

There's already jerboa for android, made by lemmy.ml devs, kind of an "official" app

I mean yes, but you know... sync...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes I think a lot of us are waiting for the sync app. Hope it's as good as the reddit one because that would really elevate my experience here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't count on it being the latest reddit Sync tier on the first release

But I have no doubt it'll get there eventually, after some updates.

It's a proprietary app though. Some other Free and Open Source alternatives:

I'm cool with it being proprietary if the dev is cool and it's a good product. If I find a superior FOSS alternative I'll certainly go that route
