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.

They're right here on the threadiverse

Yeah, nowhere near the size of reddit, but who wants that? Easier to have discussions without bazillions of people posting crap like "works for me" or being dicks.

I don't really trust other alternatives. Being unfederated, they rely on a closed source solution maintained by a single person or very small group of people. There's nothing in place if the plugs ever get pulled, everything is lost and like reddit, whose to say these owners won't turn their website slowly into the cesspit reddit is?

Yeah, an instance owner of lemmy/kbin could theoretically pull the plug on their instance or enshitify it, but you can just switch to a different instance and keep accessing the content you were.

The threadiverse/fediverse/whatever you call it I still feel is the future, so long as it survives, but it has a very long way to go to become truly sustainable as anything but a niche pocket of the internet.

It is nice to not have all the obnoxious static that comes with the huge mass of users reddit has, but that sparseness comes with the same online emptiness that living in a rural area does. Resources are much harder to find, and varied interactions with lots of people take significantly more personal effort.

I'm primarily on my Blahaj account but I'm currently using one of my alts as Jerboa is crashing when I try to log into my Beehaw account (which requires me to clear the app storage to switch accounts) and Blahaj is currently having server issues again.

Personally I dig the vibes of the Blahaj folks

Mostly I sub to communities all over the fediverse, though this alt is a bit more bare as I mostly keep them separated in terms of where I interact.

I'm not technically a refugee as I'm happy to use both websites, but I'm here.

Heretic!

I'm here!

However, I can't seem to create communities that are missing from lemmy. Maybe an instance problem?

Hello from artemis.camp (kbin fork for app)!

here from Reddit my main community (uselessserver093) could've benefited from lemmyshitpost incident but didn't

[โ€“] ComradeR@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

My account is older than the Reddit exodus, but I did started to use it after the Reddit's 3rd party app drama.

[โ€“] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Still here. Getting ready to maybe create a post or two.

First I need to spend weeks upvoting shitposts, however.

Boost for reddit still works so ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ I just use both. once Boost goes away then maybe I'll try the main app again but probably not much
