What has the PSL done differently than other leftist organisations in the U.S. ,and the west more generally, that has allowed them to be so successful? (lemmygrad.ml)

They have seen a meteoric rise in recent years. Their sister/front organisations like ANSWER, Codepink, People's Forum, BTnews have all become household names. When I look at protests in the U.S., it seems so many of them are organised directly, or indirectly, by them. In comparison, organisations like the CPUSA or the DSA are lacking behind.

How and why?

The PSL hasnt sprang out of nowhere. Well over a decade of hard work and learning is what has given it the moment it has now. I remember first learning about them when Bernie's campaign was down the shitter in 2016 and people thought he'd have a spine and run as independent with La Riva.
