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.
And unfortunately if you are the first from your instance to discover a community, currently your instance can only pull new content after you initiated the subscribe.
This obviously can be fixed with allowing the Admin to set back-pull limits. Also for discoveribility, we need a central indexer, which is possible but would need to be worked out who runs it, costs etc.
looks like https://lemmyverse.net/ is doing a decent job with indexing at the moment. I do honestly feel that indexing should take place on every instance, since each instance has a unique position in the network, and the indexing parameters/ranking algorithms could be under per-instance control rather than an outside third party.
lemmy.cfd is my domain which is currently redirecting to the communities section.
