I wouldn’t say I switched because Lemmy isn’t perfect and lacks a lot of the smaller communities that Reddit still retains, but:
API apocalypse. I didn’t like Reddit’s upper management at the best of times, but Spez showed how much of a money-grubbing snake he was.
Power mods. Many of them are sociopathic basement dwelling assholes who will banhammer you for breaking hidden rule #273, and then cry ‘harassment’ to the admins when you call them out. To be honest, the only silver lining to come out of the API purge was watching iBleeedOrange and AwkwardTheTurtle finally piss of Spez enough to get the banhammer. Fuck those guys.
Bots. Aside from automoderator being used to effectively censor and shadowban ‘bad words’ on a lot of subs, the fact that 95% of the chat requests I get are from spam accounts and e-girls mindlessly spamming their OnlyFans to every user in existence should say it all.
