Wow, didn't expect to make it here, thanks 😄
You do a great job, we appreciate it
We appreciate you :)
You hit the nail on the head with this one
no problemo
Love the proactiveness, great to see!
May I make one suggestion for your standard response? One of the things many of us hated about Reddit was the removal of third-party apps. Having an ecosystem of great ones, be they Voyager, Thunder, Sync, etc, is a fantastic benefit over Reddit.
Perhaps use that fact, and then provide your preference? Makes me wonder if there is a central list of apps anywhere, actually..
Good point, I could probably emphasize that a bit more.
https://www.lemmyapps.com/, it's mentioned in the post
Oh totally missed that. Nice!
I would also mention that you need to spend quite a bit of your time blocking Japanese cartoon communities lol
And Kremlin/CCP propaganda
That one is mentioned in the post
Great write up. Thank you!
I love you and all you do!
Doing the people's work 💪

Lemmy is so much better than Reddit it is no contest. Lemmy just needs a bit more growth.
I honestly appreciate the current scale of Lemmy. It feels nostalgic of oldskool forums or even oldskool reddit. But I can't deny the a larger scale brings certain advantages that are almost essential for a modern online community. It also brings risks. I'm very curious to see where the future will lead lemmy and if it will be able to withstand the traps others haven fallen into.
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!
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 isn’t perfect but everything it does is the best users can do to benefit the users.
Over time that matters the most as instead of enshitification you end up getting a progressively optimized app.
It’s the slow and steady wins the race approach.
I'm confused, he didn't answer the questions or state their own personal opinions like OP asked. It's just like a welcome landing message/page, really well put together but... that's it? Lemmy's number one ambassador explains why Lemmy is an effective alternative to Reddit.... did they? Seems more like an introduction to using the lemmyverse, not a presentation of being an effective alternative besides that other social media sites don't have the user base that this site does.
This all seems like weird circlejerking of an administrator.
I'm not an admin
lol well then we need to add a proper title you'll agree too so we can expand this zeitgeist :P You've definitely taken on a roll, just not sure what that would officially be called.

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.
