Where are all of the reddit refugees these days? (lemm.ee)

Just making sure I'm in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I've started wondering, what's the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I've heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.

In think the key to helping those stuck in the Reddit world is to cross post Lemmy/kbin links to Reddit. You can even get any url to a post via the share feature on the apps. Let’s make them aware there is a place where they are not just making money more money.

You could cross post to Lemmy and then put a link in the Reddit thread that says something like: "for the real conversation, the way Reddit used to be, come to Lemmy"

That might get Reddit accounts banned though 😅

I'm generally browsing the news subs which is usually what I did on reddit. I also check out All but comment less often in things I find there because it is just filled with memes after I blocked all the hexbear garbage.

They went back to reddit or scatter around other social networks or ultimately ended up turning into floating balls of nostalgia.

Hexbear

It's paradise for lost Redditors.

Not really hexbear is more twitter ish, while reddit was always techy and more nerdy until the last 2 years or so
