That it’s not Reddit.

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.

oh, you can do that? I tried posting a photo earlier but couldn't get it to work

This may be wrong but I believe there's a fairly low file size limit so that may be it. PNG files tend to be larger for example.

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.

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

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

I get to keep using Boost.

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

It's not controlled by a single company.

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

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