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.
The instance itself is run by the head mod though; I’d say it’s much better than relying on a company that might shut down the sub any time
I like the idea, but it makes modding a lot more work. I don’t think it’s feasible for every community to host an instance.
The mod tools are basically moving here too, with Sync for Lemmy and Memmy (Apollo-like), so it shouldn’t be an issue by the time comms get actually big enough to worry about.
That’s one of the main reasons we’re moving here in the first place.
Community mods also don’t need to host an instance; they’ll just make them in an instance that’s tangentially related to their topic, as some already are (like mine), or a general instance.
maybe add a function to migrate an entire community to others instances?
