From purely practical point of view, what is the selling point of Lemmy for the average user who does not care about the theoretical benefits of software or the open source software movement?

Assumptions:

  • The average user will never host a instance.
  • The average user is not interested in volunteering or moderation.
  • The average user is not looking for NSFW communities or any controversial communities.

    Lemmy vaguely feels like Reddit when it wasn’t really popular. When you could comment and it wouldn’t be buried under 10,000 others. Participation almost feels pointless there.
