Codeberg was asking about this. The linked toot by a commenter points to :

They are minimal. They provide the data you probably care about and the data you need to comply with the original license in SQLite format.

The question & answer format requires data that Lemmy just isn't able to fully replicate as it is.

Other than marking the correct answer and having user score/badges, there is anything else?

Also the community editable nature

You're right, I just forgot that people can edit your questions and answers.

Presentation matters. Replies to posts about minor items aren't displayed as prominently. This means the important answers are large and in charge, while debates about the merits of Rust in this situation are pushed away.
