Ignore ‘smaller userbase’ if you prefer it that way. We’re talking about it as a platform, in its UI, functionalities, etc.

I go first: You can post images in the text body with a simple Ctrl+V. No need to upload it somewhere or even save to your device.

So, in your opinion, in what Lemmy is better than Reddit already?

    For me it’s definitely the fact that it’s not own by a single person. We’ve seen what kind of damage some narcissistic twats can do to our beloved platforms.

    Projects like Mastodon and Lemmy are reliable for everyone, from developers to users.

    It’s open source, so it is possible to add features if you can think of a service that could be useful to everyone. Being a developer myself I’m excited about those opportunities.

    It’s moderated by the instance owner, so in a sense it is also the best free speech experience since you could always find far-right to far-left leaning instances.

    There sure are some improvements to make, features to add etc. but it’s already awesome.

    Finally, did you ever try to open Reddit on a Raspberry Pi? Lemmy’s code is so light, it could probably run on a last millenium’s potato.
