A nice thing about Lemmy's lower population than Reddit (feddit.uk)

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.

Some of the sponsored content on Reddit (/u/pizzacakecomic, 'he gets us') didn't even allow for real engagement. You weren't allowed to be critical of the 'content' because the sponsors didn't want any criticism of their product.
