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.

In software, keeping things small means they can be simpler. And simple things tend to have better uptime for less effort. Lemmy is rust based, so performance should be reasonable for most instances. Also, due to the federation, the work for instances is distributed like email, so the system naturally distributes load.

It's probably a lot like IRC, there will be different servers or networks with different specialities, but from a user perspective you can be on many at the same time.
