I’m using Lemmy and Spyke, both are pretty good although Spyke is rather inactive.

I'm not sure what else there is besides, like quora.
give it time and dedication. it will grow if we want it to.
Ironically threads isn't a reddit clone even though the threadiverse exists
It's what I've got for now. I'm no more attached to Lemmy than I was to Reddit for the time being. I clung on to Reddit via Boost just out of convenience but I don't, like, miss it terribly or anything (yet?).
Yeah some of the littler/niche communities I was in are yet to resurface here (from the guilty pleasure Amberlynn Reid drama-watching to the somewhat related anorexia recovery subreddit) but that's to be expected, really.

I joined multiple to have many feeds
I'm definitely sticking around. It was slow going on Lemmy after Reddit's third party app shutdown on 6/30 but there's been a noticeable uptick in posts and comments in the communities I follow which is great. I don't need 5,000 responses per post and Lemmy's discussion volume works just fine for me.
There are still a few interests I follow that aren't present on Lemmy that I'm aware of (pro wrestling and NFL being the big ones), but hopefully those arrive soon.
I feel fine on it so far, I haven't said too much. I just want a platform where I can go, say things without dealing with as many snarky, bad faith, shitposting users that Reddit seems to endorse having itself contaminated with.
If Lemmy can be the exception, in due time, then I will hail it as a true alternative.
Nah, more of a Kbin fan, but I also have some other forums/BBS sites I go to (and reddit still because the community around life in Japan and such never got going over here, but only those subreddits and nothing else).
Thank you my man! I get it now
