Gender bending Linux stuff.

This place is what reddit was like 20 years ago

It feels less toxic here, or maybe I give less of a shit. I also enjoy the fact that I don't get ads.

3rd party apps for browsing

Oh, here's another. I've actually never had "the site" go down, since I moved here. Being federated, most of Lemmy is up, even when a single instance goes down.

My home instance went down once, so I just read along on another instance until it came back up.

Superiority complex.

Pretty good at not being Reddit which is my number one reason for using it.

There's like twelve different client apps for Lemmy, right?

I left Reddit when they broke my favorite client app. Seemed destined to go down hill from there.

In my experience, Lemmy users tend to be more mature and less argumentative. You’ll find plenty of exceptions, though.

Allowing me to post

Also fewer incels.

Communism

UX if not UI

What is a reddit?

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

Federating with mbin and Piefed

Federate

Honestly, not much. It feels like Reddit Lite 10 years ago

I feel like folks are a lot more willing to be polite and have a discussion versus an argument. Granted, I suspect the federation process and finding a host helps with that.

Honestly everything other than variety and scale of communities. It's not as big of a compliment as it sounds like though - Reddit is almost unspeakably shitty. Pay a visit to the front page or whatever they call it now and be greeted by nothing but ragebait, hornybait, gender war content, political discussion with zero critical or individual thinking, and 500 popular communities that are completely undifferentiated because they form a singular bland monoculture circle jerk that just repackages the day's hot topic in whatever shoehorned way it can into every subreddit (Lemmy is starting to do this too though yay...). The only difference between it and tiktok is the UI tbh

The only things it DOESN'T do better is have a large number of users and has the same problems with poor moderation (because they are both just randos with no real checks or balances to their modicum of power so it's very easy to abuse).

It is less addictive.

Default comment sort. I stopped commenting on reddit because no one ever replied or voted, so I assume no one saw them. Here, there is more likelihood of interaction. I assume that's because comments are sorted not by overall count by default.

The !superbowl@lemmy.world. No doute.
Crossposting from another fediware. Can't do that outside the fediverse, of course.

The UI is just way, way, WAY less obnoxious.

I do wish it had the niche communities though. Stuff for individual games, etc.

3rd party apps.

Reddit apps addicted me to ad free content delivered in the way Eternity for lemmy does, and that's no longer available for reddit.

The mods are significantly less arbitrary in enforcing rules, with the exception of the instances that we all know. There are still some goofy exceptions, but by and large the mods are less power trippy.

Literally everything except having the plethora of niche subs.
