    For me, I never had a Reddit account so I don’t have a basis of comparison.

    I don’t even really care about the features, look, etc. I care that it’s decentralized and not owned by a corporation. That’s the beginning and end of it for me.

    Lemmy is so much better than Reddit it is no contest. Lemmy just needs a bit more growth.

      I dunno, I keep seeing almost only propaganda whenever my country in mentioned and it gets defended a lot because “muh left”, and it’s really off putting.
      If I wanted misinformation and disinformation, reddit is already filled with bots that do that whenever the goverment is criticised and mods that do nothing against those bots.

        Reddit has a ton of propaganda, too. You won’t escape it online. It’s worse on Reddit though because it’s bigger, so a more obvious target to astroturf.

    It’s fresh, for lack of a better word. Reddit is the same 5 questions on repeat in most subs. There are back corner niche groups that don’t exist here yet, but the main pages are mostly repetitive garbage.

    And ten forward!

    However, those are stil a bit less mature than Lemmy, so for instance if you want to use mobile apps a lot, Lemmy is a better choice.

    Speaking for fedia.io, the mobile browser interface is perfectly satisfactory, no special app needed.

      I even use the Lemmy default UI on phone and don’t have any issues with that, but I’ve seen people to whom having a dedicated app was very important.

        It’s definitely fine but I do like voyager. It has some nice features that are mobile oriented.
