Lightweight interface that is fast like lightning as well as open source and federated. What is there not to love?
Lemmy is a great alternative to Reddit. It allows anyone to create their communities and everything reddit is for.
It seems to me that having some sort of censorship is absolutely unacceptable. I'm not really sure how this is any better than Reddit
There isn't any censorship, you know? It is federated, this means that you can create your own server, where you will be in charge.

It has a slur filter without a way to opt out or even edit the list from admin UI. Of course, you can still edit your instance's sources but that just shows the devs' petty tyrant vibes.

In the .hjson file there's a slur_filter that you can edit/delete to your heart's content

Great website with a great community, and it is the best Reddit alternative I found. The community is still small, but if you join, you'll find yourself enjoying the warm community feel. Site is very fast and simple to use as well.
Decentralized and federated app.
simple the best
I'm one of the creators of lemmy so I'm a bit biased ;) , but I'm happy so many people like it besides me!
You aren't biased, you're blessed. ;)
