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?

Embedded media and media hosting in general.

I’m not sure what our solution is for this. A good CDN is tough to make. It’s one of the few things I’m pretty sure are better off being centralized.

We’re not there yet, but: stability. Once the development is reaching a stable release, even a few big servers shutting down will have no cascading effects on the rest of the network. It will just be some communities that are gone and that’s it. This also means no outside manipulation, no single attack vector for the network. The truth is, the best things about it will be the things that we won’t see anymore.

Lack of advertisements. Last time I used the official Reddit app it showed an advertisement every 5 posts or so. And of course no way to disable it. Good riddance.

I’ve got be honest. I’ve never seen an ad on reddit. Because first Narwhal, then Apollo. That’s why I’m here now. And I love it.

No ads.

I’m finding the signal to noise ratio is higher here. Much higher quality content at the moment. I even see some bots that post the entire article rather than just linking it. I hope that catches on.
