I think the end-goal should be that it doesn't matter. Choosing a social media app like reddit, lemmy, twitter, mastodon etc shouldn't matter any more than choosing a web browser. All the content should still be there regardless of which platform a user chooses to use to experience it.

Sorry to hear about your accessibility issues. Have you tried any of the apps that have cropped up for testing? Some seem to have very active devs and would probably be happy to listen to how they could help your troubles.
As someone with a disability, the UI/UX is problematic and makes me physically ill after using it for a short period of time.
Rest assured many developers are working on more accessible mobile apps. I'm not too sure about the web version, though.
I am not completely sold on it personally but I'm willing to give it the old college try. I'm trying to find similar communities and subscribe to them.
I'm thinking of moving to kbin, partly because of all the "defederation" talk on my instance, but also because kbin has a microblog and I like their interface more.
That being said, lemmy is awesome and will keep improving.
Just don't move to the kbin.social instance, I'm already starting to get worried since it's an absolute monopoly castle on kbin
I'm already on kbin.social, but not deeply invested in it. Do you have a favorite instance?

The only permanent platform on the internet is usenet.
Hopefully Lemmy matures into something beautiful, but if not, usenet will always be there!
Whats usenet?
A discussion medium that both predates the internet and continues to exist on the internet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
Staying for sure!
Do you mean just Lemmy or the fediverse as a whole? Cause I hear some complaints about the ethics of the Lemmy creators and some people are switching to kbin which is still in the fediverse. So I can see people jumping ship to kbin but I already made my Lemmy account and don't really care to switch at the moment. I'm not entirely sure what the situation with Lemmy creators is anyways

Lemmy know if something better comes along
It fills a slightly different niche but there is also aether. I think Lemmy and Aether complement each other. Lemmy federates with other applications but Aether is ephemeral and takes advantage of P2P topology and and cryptography.

OP check out wefwef.app. It’s basically Apollo for Lemmy.
Now it feels just like Reddit except with longer load times.
Honestly i would go back to reddit if the hole drama ends. Its not my intension to be rude by any means but I honestly dont care about the politics, im here to pirate free software

I kind of feel like it's in the nature of all things piracy-related to be ready to pick up and relocate on short notice whenever necessary. Things tends to get shut down, taken over or enshitified all the time, and the only solution is to just move the tent down the road.
yes, focused on Lemmy for now, its the best alternative
it will get updated and developed overtime, even if the devs went full political someone would just fork the project and we would still federate anyways, we have nothing to lose if we commit
