Nope. It works well on discord.
I can think of few reasons why:
1. The reliance on advertising model pushes them to retain users on their platform for longer and increase engagement in unnatural ways. You can see with how they push you to use the app or throw big subs everywhere.
2. The front-page has limited slots and there is no way to divide the community into smaller parts in itself. On discord, you can do this with channels and roles.
3. There is no voting system and realtime communication is more human like. You can get feedback naturally which you won't on reddit.
