    Possibly as the aforementioned comment said, it went offline, basically nowhere.

    Probably depends on the audience. Discord for some, a bit of Lemmy, people maybe went back to old school forums too.

      Yes exactly, much of the people who left leddit have scattered across a multitude of social media / content aggregators.

      tiktok/insta/lemmy/kbin/bluesky/etc. there are so many, it blows my mind when people say “why then has lemmy not exploded?” without recognizing there are many many lemmy instances and many many MORE alternatives. It’s not just a reddit or lemmy decision lol

        And even with Lemmy being the vast majority of my replacement, I’m commenting less. The amount and depth of quality here isn’t the same, and that prompts less discussion.

          But here you are prompting me! It is smaller here, that’s true. I’ve been commenting just about as much as I did before (12yr/2k), but I take issue with the latter point. I was just reading the recent thread on the double slit science experiment and there are smrt people here too (certainly not me, of course) with depth/breadth of knowledge just like the before place. That’s my take anyway. I browse All a ton too.

          The biggest thing I’ve experienced is that there are more forthright folks here and fewer trolls. Though I do still see too many combative and/or simple ashholes. Those are the ones that prevent engagement for me. Wrestling with a pig and all that.

          I don’t know, I find that in Lemmy I can have better discussions than on Reddit. It isn’t the same as Reddit ~5-6 years ago but it’s definitely better than post-apicalypse Reddit, or maybe even post-covid years.
