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.

I would say 99.9% of people are still on Reddit. I mainly use Lemmy to get the bigger news stuff and the gaming community is pretty active here too. Also I use Lemmy on mobile only really since the Reddit app is still terrible.

If I want to read about one of my other interests I'll go to the specific subreddit on my desktop browser and use old Reddit but with no account since I deleted mine a few months ago. Sometimes I'll post or comment on one of those smaller communities here but I don't want to be someone who posts tons of things to a community. Too much work for me.

Hopefully the user base and engagement will grow over the next few years. Welcome to being an early adopter!

I visit the frontpage now and then. I am still not sure if it is just my imagination, but it feels like the quality of the content has significantly decreased. In addition, the highest comments have fewer likes then was the case before. But I am not good at remembering numbers so it could also be just my imagination.
