For Reddit alternatives on the Fediverse, I prefer #kbin over #Lemmy. Here's why:
Navigation: The top navbar on /kbin seems clear and precise, while Lemmy seems noisy
Posts: There's clear separation in /kbin with boxes, while Lemmy posts are not segmented and therefore bleed into each other.
Discoverability: Even though /kbin is used by drastically fewer people than Lemmy, it seems easier to find people across the Fediverse who discuss topics

Both do a thing that Mastodon also does, which is to not underline links - it makes them harder to see, degrades user experience for - well, everyone, but especially low vision users & people with certain cognitive/perceptual issues. (E.g. I find it challenging when I have a migraine, which is often, or when my eyesight is glitchy - also often.)
@atomicpoet@rm4 It's more like a "post group" than a group of users. Where you would "join" and all posts go to the group and not outside it. So it doesn't seem as community centric.
@atomicpoet@rm4 The most important are public groups. Where anyone with an interest in that topic can join. This is where the users soon get to know each other. and how tight communities are made. And troublemakers can be banned.
