My favorite thing about Lemmy is that you can comment on an article that's several hours old and get responses. Reddit was so big that if you didn't comment on major articles within a couple minutes of being posted, your comment would get buried under a thousand other comments and would never be seen. Commenting became a game of which top level comment you could possibly sneak your comment as a response to, even if it wasn't really a "response" to what the person had said, just to get your comment seen and have a chance at sparking a discussion.
