I'm generally browsing the news subs which is usually what I did on reddit. I also check out All but comment less often in things I find there because it is just filled with memes after I blocked all the hexbear garbage.

They went back to reddit or scatter around other social networks or ultimately ended up turning into floating balls of nostalgia.

Discord, Telegram, old style forums, and some on Lemmy.
I'm primarily on my Blahaj account but I'm currently using one of my alts as Jerboa is crashing when I try to log into my Beehaw account (which requires me to clear the app storage to switch accounts) and Blahaj is currently having server issues again.
Personally I dig the vibes of the Blahaj folks
Mostly I sub to communities all over the fediverse, though this alt is a bit more bare as I mostly keep them separated in terms of where I interact.
Iโm here!
I'm here!
However, I can't seem to create communities that are missing from lemmy. Maybe an instance problem?
They're right here on the threadiverse
Yeah, nowhere near the size of reddit, but who wants that? Easier to have discussions without bazillions of people posting crap like "works for me" or being dicks.
I don't really trust other alternatives. Being unfederated, they rely on a closed source solution maintained by a single person or very small group of people. There's nothing in place if the plugs ever get pulled, everything is lost and like reddit, whose to say these owners won't turn their website slowly into the cesspit reddit is?
Yeah, an instance owner of lemmy/kbin could theoretically pull the plug on their instance or enshitify it, but you can just switch to a different instance and keep accessing the content you were.

Many are around. All ? May-be not, some people would have moved to other places (discord, Mastodon, and more)
Welcome here, looks like you already got the federation concept and how to access communities which aren't on your home instance, congrats. Remember that you're part of the community and be the change you want to see
Sometimes, it's a bit messy as you get 3 communities with the same name on different instance and only one of the 3 is active, but in general it's works
Sup dood.
Aloha.
We exist!
HOOOOTIE WHOOOO
Hello from artemis.camp (kbin fork for app)!
My account is older than the Reddit exodus, but I did started to use it after the Reddit's 3rd party app drama.
