The apps will dictate where people go. It's only natural

It's still early but I wouldn't expect the community to suddenly move to something new/better in the very near future. People here are still getting used to Lemmy/Fediverse.

Personally I'm happy with how things are progressing but you're right, stuff like UI/UX needs more fine tuning.. I'd expect it to get better as things go on. Also keep in mind since everything is federated here you could technically still participate via any other software that is also federated to Lemmy (signing up to a Kbin instance would be the closest at the moment).

Yes, im also not a fan of the site. I never heard of it before and trying to figure out how this site works is kind of a hassle. Im committed to learn how to sail on this pirate ship at least, but if we happen to find a better option ill probably follow the captain and the crew

i do hope its here to stay, having to constantly switch platforms is a pain in the ass
