I too would like to know...

Some subreddits managed to do it when the topic was very specific and the mods were dedicated. I'm thinking of r/AskHistorians and r/Askphilosophy
Both options are non-ideal. Some mods are on a power trip and public opinion can vary wildly depending on the thread/community
Using Lemmy seems better in a mobile browser than in the app. But maybe that's just me
I don't have the answer but I share your sentiment.
One thing I hated about reddit is the mods would ban you for participating on certain subs. For instance, I got banned from r/WhitePeopleTwitter for commenting in a r/Conservative thread. (I was actually disagreeing with someone, but that's neither here nor there.)
The Fediverse feels like a worse version of that phenomenon. Entire communities are blocked off from each other by the admins of the instance. I fear that Lemmy might become a disjointed group of echo-chambers. Some might argue that reddit already is.
And let's be honest: reddit has some of the best NSFW content on the internet. Extremely specific interests all curated into their own respective subs. In many cases, this content goes back years
If reddit deletes NSFW content, we can expect a third exodus of users
I'm sure this is a massive boon for various scientific communities
