Where are all of the reddit refugees these days?

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.

Lemmy is kinda nice but still kinda quiet, also as a 30 something I feel that the crowd here is quite young and immature which isn't that great

Really? This surprises me. Reddit was a circlejerk of who had the best joke to race to the top of the comments section, not seeing that here.

Still the same hot take comments based on an article headline, though.

All the puns got real fucking annoying.

Really?? I'm mostly seeing techies who give off pretty mature vibes, but maybe it's because the only "big" community I'm subscribed to is AskLemmy.

That feeling's just gonna intensify over time, friend. The people who have time to post on the Internet are overwhelmingly 1) literal children and 2) college aged adults. It's not just here, it's the whole dang web.

This is surprising to me, I actually experienced the opposite. Reddit had a lot of teens but Lemmy seems to have older posters who are more thoughtful about what they post. In my 30's myself and wasn't able to get anyone younger than 34 to join.

It could just be the communities you subscribed to?

I mostly browse "Top X hours" which is All the communities and it's filled with terrible memes and "funny" things I've blocked of few of these meme communities but overall it feels pretty low quality content aside from news but still there there's lots of duplicates due to the various similar commuties on Lemmy

Ur immature!

I see some older techies on Mastodon, maybe give that a shot? Different format, I know. Also takes a tad bit of work to find people to follow, but you get there. Just follow a couple of hashtags related to your interests.
