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'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.

Hexbear

It's paradise for lost Redditors.

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.

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

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.

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

I'm here!

However, I can't seem to create communities that are missing from lemmy. Maybe an instance problem?
