Good text-based communities?

Hey folks!

Recent Reddit refugee here. I loved subreddits like r/AskReddit, r/BestOfRedditorUpdates, and r/AmITheAsshole. Are there any communities here that are similar text dumps, and actually populated? It seems like most equivalents just have a handful of posts.

Thanks!

!asklemmy@lemmy.ml (This is the main one)

!asklemmy@lemmy.world (This doesn't get as much posts)

!amitheasshole@lemmy.world (This one is dead)

!AmItheAsshole@lemmit.online (This seems active, there are a lot of bot reposts from reddit tho. You can view it using archive.is to view the original without giving reddit traffic, or use an adblocker if you are visiting directly.)

Edit: It seems like the AITA replacement is just mirroring reddit. There are not much discussion in the lemmy comment.

Edit 2: Someone below pointed out !aita@lemmy.world is active, yay I love drama 😅 😟

!aita@lemmy.world Seems most active.

The entirety of lemmit.online, is a reddit mirror. That's what the whole instance is for.

lemmit.online was an interesting concept when lemmy didn’t have a lot of organic content, but now it just feels like spam. The OPs are not even aware that their content is being reposted to a different website let alone participate in the discussion on lemmy. I especially feel this for communities that depend on discussions like AmItheAsshole, tifu, nostupidquestions, etc. Having the lemmit mirror confuses new lemmy users.
