I don't get this list /r/3DS is active and not moving. The Discord is there for years. The lemmy instance is not affiliated with the sub (and it has 0 activity compared to the sub) The kbin AITA has only 2 posts from a week ago. While the main sub is still alive and active with thousands of comments on each posts etc. Feels like this a site for showing alternatives to the subs not "where Reddit communities have relocated" which is very misleading

I agree. I'm not aware of a single sub that has wholesale moved to a lemmy instance. There's def a big increase in fediverse usage, but to say entire communities have migrated already is beyond hyperbole, it's just marketing speak.

    There are new posts and comments in both subreddits. How can you migrate a sub when other people on reddit can still use it?
    - evilkorn 3y ago
      No subreddit can fully move. Reddit is too popular for everyone to leave. A mod can start a new place but if they threaten the the sub itself like going private or not allowing posts the company can just open it with new mods.

      >How can you migrate a sub when other people on reddit can still use it? there were still people on Digg for over a decade after the "digg migration". I think you're taking the term a bit too literally. besides, migrations in software work the same way. You don't cold turkey drop the old tools. You make bridges, start weaning people on new tools, and phase out the old. That's the concept behind deprecation models.

  Supposedly a good handful of piracy subs have motioned for movements due to takeovers by Reddit, though thats the only community I know of so far.

Yuep, some I follow on that list are still quite active on Reddit. I see no reason to leave and lose the convenience of discoverability, single-side on, single app, searchability, etc...

It's at least part of a community that's moving.

I think it's better thought of as alternatives than replacements. It has an "official" badge for alternatives that have been somehow endorsed by the moderators (or old moderators in the case of removals) of a subreddit. In the case of /r/3DS, the Discord is marked official and the Lemmy community is not.

Discord has lower API limits and zero "3rd party apps" so the fact that it's the recommended darling child of people fleeing reddit because of "low API limits" and "them taking away 3rd party apps" makes zero sense. The "Lemmy" thing is even worse; a complete mess. For example, /r/aww has two different links, with different content, etc. And yes, I understand how the "fediverse" works, it just makes no sense in the context that most consumers want their media in.

  > Discord has [...] zero "3rd party apps" Most people don't want third party Reddit apps because they inherently like third party apps (some people do want FOSS apps, but that's the minority). People largely want third party apps because the first party app is terrible.
  - avree 3y ago
    Is it terrible? I know everyone says it is, but for example on iOS it has a 4.8 rating over 2.8M reviews. Apollo, the really popular 3rd party client, has a 4.7 rating over 170K reviews. So, clearly someone likes the Reddit app, right? Those millions of 5 star reviews are definitely not fake/bought.
