I answered this the other day over at asklemmy so I'm going to cut n paste:

Why I joined

• had a more intuitive interface
• had a better aesthetic
• had a much cooler name
• the dev seemed like a cool guy
• before federation it felt exciting like being on the ground floor of something

Why I stayed

• has heaps of cool features and functions that are easy to use, like seeing upvotes, better blocking
• I like the Mastodon interface too
• turns out the dev definitely is awesome and everything is very open
• it has a really chill community
• I still just like it more than the various Lemmys
