On Reddit I generally didn't read attached articles. I'd developed a pretty good intuition where the article title, website and top comments could tell me all I needed to know (And reading the source normally confirmed this)

On Lemmy the smaller numbers of comments mean we need to engage with the content being discussed more directly, which is quite a nice change of pace for us Reddit converts.

I think a large part of it is that the folks who are really conscious of social media's toxic sides, the enshittification/'ennui engine' phenomenon, privacy, etc are more likely to come over here first. Makes it especially great at least for now.
