Egh, there’s reasons for that, pardner! Lemmy ask you this: which site does better: a company that hires developers and system operators to keep a site running, or a bunch of volunteers running their own instances?
The answer of course is: define better.
Better stability? better features? That’s reddit.
Better content? Better user experience? Something that won’t be fucked over by the whim of one person? That’s lemmy.
