I hate to break the circlejerk but Reddit is still better than Lemmy in many ways, often Lemmy is a disappointing step backwards. Reddit is:
Better UX and web-design. The content looks much nicer and more pleasant to read and follow.
JS free.
Great mobile support. I’m using Boost and it’s brilliant browsing experience.
Indexable, means you can use search engine to search reddit rather than rely and hope sites search is working.
Bigger communities, you can find subreddit for almost every niche.
Better media support.
Porn, reddit is brilliant for exploring pornographic fetishes and I hope there’s a pornographic lemmy instance in the future.
Weirdly enough Reddit feels more free sometimes.
Huge enhancement community ranging from greasemonkey scripts to whole addon suites (e.g. RES)
The only negatives are:
Mainstream reddit propaganda and astroturfing, however if you avoid major subreddits and stick to niche forums as it was intended with the platform you’ll be fine.
Draconic administration that bans a bunch of perfectly fine subreddits, though this isntance of lemmy isn’t much better.
Hides down-voted comments and secret modlog (though there are 3rd party open modlogs out there).
