TL;DR Tbh I think most people just stayed on reddit or are here.
Totally gave up reddit in favour of kbin/lemmy and discuit. I'm quite happy using both at the moment as they serve different purposes: kbin gives access to a lot more content, especially memes and news related so I'm 99% of the time a lurker here.
Discuit is still a very small community and favours more discussion based content, but since they just added image post support that will probably change. There's only 4k or so accounts and a lot of people who migrated from Squabblr due to the main admin's attitude or something. It's mostly a pretty relaxed place with a few rocky moments and the admins are nice, anyone harassing other users gets dealt with pretty quick as it's still small.
What sort of communities are you looking for, OP? Maybe we can give you a hand getting settled in.

In think the key to helping those stuck in the Reddit world is to cross post Lemmy/kbin links to Reddit. You can even get any url to a post via the share feature on the apps. Letβs make them aware there is a place where they are not just making money more money.
You could cross post to Lemmy and then put a link in the Reddit thread that says something like: "for the real conversation, the way Reddit used to be, come to Lemmy"
That might get Reddit accounts banned though π
Hey there, also calling back from kbin.social as some of the commenters in this mini-raft.
Although most of the politics posts can be a bit of an eyesore to most of us here, I found comfort in this instance, even going so far as to establish some new mags for my ephemeral interests, one for the musico-archivist Derivakat herself, of which I have grown tired of continually building as my college era began to set in, up until this point.
As for private small-group convos, I'm also mulling moving on to revolt.chat along with a few others in my own Discord server if ever its fires start blazing forth.
We all went here

I'm not technically a refugee as I'm happy to use both websites, but I'm here.
Heretic!

Hexbear
It's paradise for lost Redditors.
Not really hexbear is more twitter ish, while reddit was always techy and more nerdy until the last 2 years or so
