Simple, it’s open source and distributed, and that’s what matters.

No fucking ADS
in a nutshell, it’s made for people, not for money
-
Open-source; no one party has monopoly control over the codebase.
-
Federated; no one party has monopoly control over the existing network.
-
The operators have no problem with third-party clients.
-
Because Reddit got worse
Accessibility is a big plus. Reddit is opposed to 3rd party apps while their official app is appallingly stuttery and feature-incomplete.

3rd party apps.
-
Fewer Nazis.
-
Small enough to not have ridiculous rules that make it so only the mods and friends of mods can actually post something without it automatically being removed by an automod bot.
-
Fewer dickhead mods.
-
Either fewer dickheads in general, or at least fewer of them making multiple accounts so that blocking a dickhead actually works.
-
Open source, not owned by a megacorp.
-
No ads. Accessibility, server choice, no ads, no corporations to worry about stealing your data.
I’m not permabanned here for being obscenely anti-russia.
Good third-party apps.
It’s open source, has no ads by default, supports custom clients and is built with Rust which means it’s very performant. Sure, it lacks some features that are very useful like flairs. And the moderation tools could be improved.
Reddit’s website is literally shit and bloated as fuck. While Lemmy is pretty minimalistic. Some UI improvements to make it more pretty could be made but it’s fine to be honest.
Besides what everyone else has said, I find the conversations here to be smarter. People who left Reddit are probably just more attuned to what’s happening. There’s probably less diversity of opinion here but that’s a trade I’m willing to make.
Basically, quantity vs. quality. I chose quality. Even on Reddit, I was mostly into smaller subs where experts responded to questions (like AskHistorians or AskPhysics) than the bigger ones. (I was banned from r/relationships for asking why women always think you’re hitting on them when you’re actually recruiting a team of elite female assassins. The mods apparently didn’t think it was funny.)
(I was banned from r/relationships for asking why women always think you’re hitting on them when you’re actually recruiting a team of elite female assassins. > This is exactly the thing. The moderation and deleting/banning stuff that deserves to not be removed. Just censorship like this. Idc if posts actually are bad I just want to be able to see them and decide for myself.

Nah homie, that’s fucking hilarious 😂
Reddit -> corporation, greed driven, you are but a product fır the advertisers
Lemmy -> software, community run servers, service provided by people for people no money incentive
