What does Lemmy have that Reddit wishes it could have?
-

Digg is still up too.

i thought digg died and came back as something entirely new with just the old name

There is a site called Digg, IIRC it’s only tangentially related to the original Digg though. I read a year or two ago that someone had bought the name and was making a new site that would function very differently from the original.

IDK, like I said in my original post I haven't thought of them for a decade+ and took a look and its there. Not terribly impressive from what I saw.

does lemmy have this? i’ve only seen net-sum here
It depends on what client you use as to whether it's shown but the data is there. On Jerboa, for example, there's a setting to show just the sum or split it.

That when you block someone, their comment vanishes from your sight. It is like they don't even exist. That's how blocking should be done. It isn't like where on Reddit, you still have the option to click an icon next to their name and see what they've said that got you to block them. Why the hell is that a thing? Why should we care? If we want them blocked, we don't want to see them ever again, including the ability to re-read what they've said.
Moderators who do not ban you if your opinion differs from theirs

Piefed has the ability to move posts. You can move your post if you decide you made a mistake, or the mods can move a post they've decided is off-topic. A request for tech support could be moved from a conversation community to a support community where it belongs, without forcing the user to resubmit.
If you mess up and say something stupid, there's a button you can press that says "I changed my mind about this comment". The comment remains visible, but everyone sees a disclaimer that you no longer believe what you said, and they can't reply. No more replies telling you the same thing, and you don't look like a sneaky coward. Other people get to learn from your mistake.
You can follow microblogs from Piefed. I'm following George Takie, I can see his toots from My Piefed account.
You can set your pronouns and they'll appear next to your name on most communities. Species too, if you're otherkin.
There's a list of new communities and a separate list of active communities in the homepage sidebar. Communities are also organised into topics, so you can find new communities to join more easily.

Human content.
You say that but there's a reason most people haven't moved to the fediverse. 1/3 the stuff is reddit reposts and another 1/3 is from RSS feeds. Every community with a subreddit counterpart has a fraction of the human activity.
Not dunking on the fediverse, I'm obviously happy here. But let's not oversell it....reddit may be mostly bots but they still have five times as many humans posting lol

Yes, Reddit has more users, but often, they don't act like humans. They don't contribute to discussions. Often, they karma farm.
On the other hand, Lemmy/Piefed feels like Reddit used to be. It might be small, but it feels human-led with no gamification incentives.

A non bot comunity. I swaer reddit is just a bunch of bots and paid actors trying to convince eachother the ideals of whoever is paying them is correct.

I was permabanned from Reddit for making fun of AI in a lighthearted manner. They wouldn't reverse the decision after I complained. It was a dull response, too, like they didn't even try to look into it; instead, I broke a rule for "inciting violence" when nothing I said was even violent in nature. ¯\(ツ)/¯
10+ years gone and over 160k karma so it's not like I was a noob or troll. I moderated 4 or 5 subreddits myself too, and was a top contributor to many tech subs...
15 years gone for me. I was banned from a subreddit and they claimed I created another user name and tried to access subreddit. I only have one user name… wouldn’t over turn it

We have the same bot-like humans over here, too. Ragebait, memes, and twitter screenshots from 2018. Everything is just at a smaller scale.
Which to be clear, is totally fine to prefer. I just think it's a bit silly to claim there's more human content here when that couldn't be further from the truth

The ability to post things on a new account.

Human content.
even if 90% of reddit is bot content theyd still have more human content than here
-
Digg is still up too.
They tried making a modrrn reddit clone, dropped it one week into release and swapped to an ai feed thing

A nice and human scale userbase.
I did help mod a community on Reddit. Daily, so many reports it took a team of us to manage them. I was on there for about 15 years, it's not a recent problem.
I single handedly (so far) mod a community here. 2.5 years, two reports total. What a joy.
