How is Lemmy better than Reddit?

Buttflapper@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 300 points –

I am a reddit refugee. Keep seeing that this is supposed to be somehow better than Reddit. As far as I can tell, it follows a similar format, less restrictive on posts being removed I suppose. But It looks like people still get down vote brigaded on some communities. So I'm curious, how it's better?

I swapped because I refused to use their garbage fire of an app and they shut down my beautiful RIF. Unforgivable.

What app do you use for Lemmy?

I'd recommend Eternity for Lemmy, same developer as Infinity for Reddit, and FOSS. I too tried a bunch of Lemmy apps and I settled on Eternity because it's pretty much a complete app. I don't miss any features.

Went from rif to connect for Lemmy and i'm happy with it

I used Boost on reddit, and I use Boost on lemmy. I'm not a huge fan of it not being FOSS, but every other app was always missing something

I'm sure they have caught up now, but I already paid for it and it does everything I need

I’ve never used Boost. What sorts of things does it have that FOSS apps are lacking?

I wouldn't be able to tell you at this point friend. I can't remember what I wasn't liking about the other apps in the first place, and I have no idea the progress they have made. I'd be willing to bet at least a few are on par now

Many options are available like voyager, avelon, melm to name a few for ios. Lemmy's app scene is strong
