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.

Present. Using this as I did reddit. It’s like browsing a lot of the smaller subreddits I enjoyed, but all the time.
Downsides are less content, and definite growing pains. I think there are some aspects of the platform severely limiting its growth at this time, and I’m not sure how it’s going to tackle them yet. But I’m along for the ride.
I'm in the same boat. What do you think are the limiting factors? I'm starting to see that federation is a double edge sword. It's like every week a dozen new instances pop-up that have nefarious motives that need to be defederated with.
Federation is a challenge in its own right, yeah. My particular pet peeve has been repost bots that flood feeds with 1000s of posts with no comments.
I just block them, and also instances like lemmygrad and hexbear. Probably won't work when you use a web browser, but I exclusively browse with the sync client.
Yeah I block bots and communities like hexbear, it’s just unfortunate that I feel like that’s become a prerequisite to Lemmy being enjoyable and that puts off new people
