Honestly everything other than variety and scale of communities. It’s not as big of a compliment as it sounds like though - Reddit is almost unspeakably shitty. Pay a visit to the front page or whatever they call it now and be greeted by nothing but ragebait, hornybait, gender war content, political discussion with zero critical or individual thinking, and 500 popular communities that are completely undifferentiated because they form a singular bland monoculture circle jerk that just repackages the day’s hot topic in whatever shoehorned way it can into every subreddit (Lemmy is starting to do this too though yay…). The only difference between it and tiktok is the UI tbh
lemmy does totally lack the vibrant niche communities. i loved the circlejerk communites especially ragging on the stupid stuff in hobby subs, but that can’t be here because the mainstream hobby communities have zero users or activity.
