How is Lemmy better than Reddit? - eviltoast

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?

    Similar, though halfway made the switch to Firefox sooner, at least on a mobile, and still nowadays have to use Chrome more on a desktop. For one thing, it supports multiple profiles better, which is mandatory for managing two work emails that both use Microdick’s Outlook.

    It is really annoying though, like how it always checks in with home base despite opting out, and how I have to force close it every time I’m done with it or else my phone gives me warning messages about it using up too much battery, even if I haven’t used it at all that day (hence why I’ve taken to force closing it).

    But… no ads, and that wins:-). Also open source, so it’s got a strong base, just I wish it was implemented more than a little better, which is probably a harder ask than I give it credit for, so I am glad that it works as well as it does, with everything wanting to kill it off.
