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.

    It would be different if it e.g. had a function to make older posts resurface and stay relevant longer to foster longer conversations

    “New comments” filters help with that

      Thanks, i wasn’t aware of that option and will definitely try to use it occasionally. Although having an option like that and having a default mechanism that pushes posts back to the top still probably still have different effects.
