    The decentralized and community-driven model that essentially guarantees Lemmy being free from big corporations creating the ad-centric hellscape of centralized social media. That, and the UI is much clearer and feels lighter, even compared to Old Reddit.

      This^. And not just the ads, but the decentralized nature should also protect the community at large. Where as if Nintendo doesn’t like something on r/Nintendo they may have sufficient pull to force a change. With communities being decentralized it means that corporations have a lessened ability to throw their weight around.

      This was a big thing for me too. And I agree about the UI, it feels close to reddit I guess but I’ve not had any issues finding my way around and joining a bunch of communities that interest me. I’ve also commented/posted more than I ever did on reddit already!

      Does it, though? An instance could theoretically become so big it overshadows all others, then defederate from everyone.

        When account migration gets added and something like community sync is in place, I can see that issue being mitigated. Sure, there might be some chaos, but the underlying nature of the fediverse makes the issue much less likely to occur.
