As the title says, I updated the bot a day or so ago, so you can chat with it in the comments. It should now also support context, meaning it knows the whole comment chain. And you don’t have to tag it if you’re replying to it.

    What Makes Lemmy Different from Reddit?

    Lemmy and Reddit may seem similar on the surface as they are both social media platforms focused on community-based discussions, but there are some key differences:

    1. Decentralization: Lemmy is a part of the Fediverse, a collection of interconnected but independently hosted servers. This means communities on different instances can interact, unlike Reddit which has a single centralized hosting.

    2. Open Source: Lemmy is open-source software, allowing anyone to view, modify, and contribute to the code. Reddit, on the other hand, is a proprietary platform.

    3. Customizability: Because of its decentralized nature, instances of Lemmy can have different rules, themes, and moderation practices. This offers greater flexibility compared to Reddit’s single framework.

    4. Focus on Privacy: Many Lemmy instances prioritize user privacy more strictly than Reddit, incorporating features that reduce tracking and data collection.

    5. Community Ownership: With Lemmy being open-source and federated, communities or even individuals can host their own instances, giving them full control over their data and content.
