Generally speaking, the terms "didactic" and "pedantic" both refer to actions or outlooks that are negative or, at least, not enjoyable. The difference can be simply expressed in the following way: a "didactic" approach is overly preachy or unnecessarily eager to instruct, while a "pedantic" approach focuses on unimportant details as though they were quite important.
