in what way do you prefer using Lemmy over Reddit?

Nobody is making profit from my content or selling my data to advertisers.

For a couple of years there were accounts where all the comments they made had a theme, usually the username was related. That's how ShittyWatercolor started; someone would describe something in a comment and that would make shitty watercolor artwork of it.
There were tons of them. I remember another that would replace words in the comment with a link to a Magic the Gathering card where the title of the card would fill in the rest of the sentence.
There was another that would
witre cmeomtns lkie tihsso your brain could read them even though nothing was spelled properly.
There were a few threads where they'd Assemble like the Avengers and it would be a bunch of folks all playing off one another. It was glorious, and then it all just kind of faded away...

It's not overflowing with Nazis and pedos. It has a tankie problem, but it's still not as much of a problem as the Nazis and pedos on Reddit.
I did see some pedo apologists recently, but it used to be a very big issue on reddit. I hope that's not a sign they're going to stick here.

I'm currently browsing Lemmy with a third party app.
Reddit wiped out that capacity, and I in turn wiped out my participation on reddit.
i use a minimalist app written in rust that i prefer to the reddit or default lemmy experience

I don't prefer lemmy. I'm locked out of the only communities i actually enjoyed, because the mirrors here are dead beyond hope.

If they hadn't killed RiF client, I'd still be there.

Most of the posts on Lemmy are still made by humans instead of automatically reposting the top posts from 5 years ago forever.

Not sure if I'd still be there, and thank God for the Connect app for Lemmy that it getting close to the point of being actually useful because without that I don't know where I'd be

Its not enshittified in various ways. Its just a news aggregate and discussion forum that functions.

The bots ran me off. I want to read human comments and converse with humans.
Caught a permaban for my, uh, spicy opinions on Russians. I rarely go back to look at something and every post has 10,000 bullshit replies.

I hate the adds...and the bots

It's one of those things I don't notice until I make a trip back to Reddit to pick up something I left (moving out takes time).
At least once per visit I end up clicking an ad by accident, because they're everywhere.
I downvote every one . Even the ones with a puppy dog or cat.
That might be worse than not engaging at all

The people are less stupid. We weed out the people who don't know how to use computers by implementing hard stuff like "choices"

The discussions are on average much more civil, and can actually be worth reading rather than to watch a fight. It reminds me of old school slashdot.

They serve no purpose for which I have a need.

It really makes you wonder about the type of people that see an ad and say to themselves " I'm going to look into that ".
I see an advertisement and the first thing that pops in my mind is "ok, I'll stay away from that for sure, i definitelydont want that in my life"
