The benefit of lemmy being that instances can and do block communities that don’t fit their vibe. So once lemmy gets big enough that quality starts taking a hit, and corpos smell blood in the water, other instances can just fork off. It’s already kind of like that too. Whereas with reddit, you can’t tell what sub a person originally signed up for, sure you can go through history but with lemmy you can see what instance a person belongs to, which can give you a slight idea of the ideals that person might hold. Some instances may, for better or worse, have certain reputations.
Plus with being able to see a users mod history and whatnot. Lemmy has a lot more to offer and its still growing. it’ll likely split over time but basically be the same. It is very different from reddit though, more like if forums and twitter had a baby.
Lemmy’s far less toxic than Reddit and actually does something about bigots/hateful people too
also you don’t get banned just for saying Luigi lol
You get banned for random views though. In particular lemmy.world is heavy on the censorship.
If lemmy gets more popular then corporate influenced mods will appear.
That’s why I switched from .world. Being the biggest target makes them more averse to offending corporations.
