Lemmy developers decided to have different features (yet similar to Reddit) so they could not use the source code from Reddit. Maybe they have reused part of the code ?
Many feature here are superior to Reddit if you ask me. Unfortunately the recent days are showing that some do not scale well.
Edit : typos.
What’s weird is all the Reddit-alikes use custom code. Reddit code was open source until 2017.
