MODERATORS
come on down to lemmy town everyone.
at least we're not reddit.
So we got that going for ourselves which is nice.
Working in the caddyshack. I use that all the time which makes me think you're genX too. I think maybe the fediverse skews older because we've learned from our mistakes with prior social media.

Best for me is the ability to post images directly from the app / site rather than all that imgur rigmarole.
No gaming of the stats, and no arcane rejection of you comment because it didn't meet some arbitrary rules are also positives.
oh, you can do that? I tried posting a photo earlier but couldn't get it to work
This may be wrong but I believe there's a fairly low file size limit so that may be it. PNG files tend to be larger for example.
This can vary by instance. Some do not allow posting images directly at all, while others allow relatively large files.

I love being finished doomscrolling after 15 or 20 minutes not because I hate myself, but because I ran out of fresh content for the day.
It has an API so you can use it with an Android client

The clock hands move faster when I use Lemmy.
You can get the original size of the image inside lemmy by clicking on the preview, no need to see the full post
I get to keep using Boost.
Yea, as some people have said, the fediverse and the threadiverse feel much more organic.
Also, no tracking by shady companies is a big selling point
It's not controlled by a single company.
We're well established enough that we have stereotypes about different communities... it's amusing.
