What I like about Lemmy is, that you don't need to be one of the first comments to interact with people. On Reddit you would easily be buried somewhere at the bottom but most Lemmy posts I see have a really nice comment section. People are more likely to see your comment because the posts don't have hundreds of comments but there are still enough comments to start a conversation. I also love that I can have conversations stretched over days. I don't browse Lemmy often. I don't need to feel bad when I answer something a day later.
