What Makes Lemmy Different from Reddit?

Lemmy and Reddit may seem similar on the surface as they are both social media platforms focused on community-based discussions, but there are some key differences:

1. Decentralization: Lemmy is a part of the Fediverse, a collection of interconnected but independently hosted servers. This means communities on different instances can interact, unlike Reddit which has a single centralized hosting.

2. Open Source: Lemmy is open-source software, allowing anyone to view, modify, and contribute to the code. Reddit, on the other hand, is a proprietary platform.

3. Customizability: Because of its decentralized nature, instances of Lemmy can have different rules, themes, and moderation practices. This offers greater flexibility compared to Reddit's single framework.

4. Focus on Privacy: Many Lemmy instances prioritize user privacy more strictly than Reddit, incorporating features that reduce tracking and data collection.

5. Community Ownership: With Lemmy being open-source and federated, communities or even individuals can host their own instances, giving them full control over their data and content.
