Like a lot of others, I've been looking at Reddit alternatives recently which is what landed me here at Lemmy.

How do you think Lemmy compares to Reddit? But also, for people who have tried other Reddit alternatives than Lemmy, how do they compare? What has been the pros and cons of each community for you?

"All" as in a lot of them? There's not many as far as I know unless you're counting mobile apps for Lemmy. There's a good range of Lemmy mobile apps already and more coming. But then it's just different ways of accessing the same content.

If you're talking about kbin versus Lemmy, I think Lemmy is more feature rich, but kbin has a nicer looking layout. Even so they're both Fediverse platforms so again it's just different ways of accessing the same content.

In any case the number of users here on Lemmy/kbin is a tiny fraction of Reddit. They have like half a billion monthly active where Lemmy/kbin has maybe 100k. Though the content is as much better as the difference in user numbers. It's mostly noise on Reddit like low effort memes, shitposts, astroturfing, bot spam. We don't have that here...yet. Don't know how long it will stay that way, but I'll take it long as I can get it.
