That it’s not Reddit.

I love being finished doomscrolling after 15 or 20 minutes not because I hate myself, but because I ran out of fresh content for the day.

Best for me is the ability to post images directly from the app / site rather than all that imgur rigmarole.

No gaming of the stats, and no arcane rejection of you comment because it didn't meet some arbitrary rules are also positives.

It has an API so you can use it with an Android client

The clock hands move faster when I use Lemmy.

Moderators responding to flagged posts in hours

You can get the original size of the image inside lemmy by clicking on the preview, no need to see the full post

I get to keep using Boost.

Yea, as some people have said, the fediverse and the threadiverse feel much more organic.

Also, no tracking by shady companies is a big selling point

It's not controlled by a single company.

The idiots have not yet found the platform, so I can enjoy more interesting discussions.

We're well established enough that we have stereotypes about different communities... it's amusing.
