  1. 3rd party apps.
  2. Fewer Nazis.
  3. Small enough to not have ridiculous rules that make it so only the mods and friends of mods can actually post something without it automatically being removed by an automod bot.
  4. Fewer dickhead mods.
  5. Either fewer dickheads in general, or at least fewer of them making multiple accounts so that blocking a dickhead actually works.
  6. Open source, not owned by a megacorp.
Steve,

Because Reddit got worse

Accessibility is a big plus. Reddit is opposed to 3rd party apps while their official app is appallingly stuttery and feature-incomplete.

  • Open-source; no one party has monopoly control over the codebase.
  • Federated; no one party has monopoly control over the existing network.
  • The operators have no problem with third-party clients.
Hadriscus,

in a nutshell, it’s made for people, not for money

pinkyprincessfiona,

No fucking ADS

paraphrand,
shortwavesurfer,

Simple, it’s open source and distributed, and that’s what matters.

VanHalbgott,

Agreed. :)

Toes,

I stopped using Reddit around the great anime purge. Became an unfriendly place to hangout.

paraphrand,

Why was there an anime purge?

mesamunefire,

I can see real upvotes and downvotes.

tygerprints,

No. I didn't much like Reddit but I have never had so many problems with a social media site as I have with Lemmy. Right now there's 17 comments in my notifications page, but no way to access them because it just says "404 - page not found." And there's no way to view or erase them.

Lemmy has tons of connectivity problems also. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd have to rate it minus 100. I've left Kbin and actually am no longer even using Lemmy but once in a grand while. I'm looking for other sites that will work better.

You’re making complaints about Lemmy while posting from kbin and complaining about kbin bugs. Everything your pissing and moaning about is kbin. I also use kbin but I understand it’s an alpha service that goes down for weeks on end.

tygerprints,

Oh, I didn't know they were separate entities, yes my complaints are about kbin (don't know what lemmy is, I guess). I didn't mean to cause confusion, I'm just a newbie about these things....

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I like them both equally.

I can use whichever method of access I want while not having to deal with 26263663 different types of data harvesters.
The few ads there are are easily recognizable spam posts, as opposed to sanctioned ads camouflaged as user content.
Fewer reposts.
Generally better quality members. Yes, that includes YOU

It’s owned by people, not a person.

It’s owned by money, not people. I left with apis and 3rd party apps. Glad I did, quality has taken a real noise dive. Now I just read from old. If there’s a reason, without logging in.
