Leave the dandelions in the lawn for the pollinators. They attract tons of bees, bumblebees and butterflies.
I guess I did good by getting sick for a month right when spring was starting and between that and the rain I didn't bother mowing for awhile and the dandelions took over the front lawn :)
they are also very tasty (you can eat many parts of them), and they will grow again if you leave the root in the ground :)
Bonus: Dandelion wine
