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 think “failed” is a little strong, and that we have to remember two things, here: 1) Lemmy wasn’t in ideal position to handle a major Rexxitor exodus at the time, and 2) Lemmy is best looked at as a long-term project that will ultimately have higher quality of infrastructure, user rights, and users themselves. Much of that is already true, arguably.
What’s helped me personally is to start a community where one was needed in the FV, posting regular content there. Others are joining in, and it’s fun to see our little community grow. It also means a lot to me that I don’t have to worry about a corporation one day arbitrarily fucking with our community to suit their own ends.
That said, if you’re simply a content-devourer, then I agree that Lemmy is going to be less useful than Reddit for the time being. But there’s also a fairly unique opportunity to help change that, as many are doing here. <3
