People really need to remember how easy it is to create a forum of their own. There is literally no need to pay reddit for a niche community, when one can just be created in an afternoon. Hell, you can just spin up a community on Lemmy. But of course reddit will delete and block any posts with information about moving a subreddit somewhere off-site.
Remove content they don’t like while pushing content in my face that I don’t want to see.
Between the constant ads and politically divisive subreddit recommendations that plague my Reddit experience, Lemmy feels like a breath of fresh air. I actually see the stuff I want to see, and am not having garbage pushed onto me.
Who is “they”? You’ll need to pay for hosting, and a domain, but that’s like $5 per month and $20 per year, for one person. Nobody else would need to pay. I suppose the biggest issue is that most people don’t know how to do that anymore, and nobody wants to. It used to be something people got excited about when they were passionate about a hobby.

Yup. They can remove any content they don’t like under guise of “Our platform is ours so no free speech”
