As Reddit melts down, users are fleeing to lemmy, kbin, tildes and more.

      “immediate responses” is the problem. Chat discussions are very different in nature from forum-type communities. Often a lot more noisy and a lot less substantive.

        Not really. Well moderated servers with large user counts are always divided into relevant channels where noise is suppressed by the mods and actual conversations occur. It’s nowhere near as chaotic as you think it is.

          It’s also unsearchable from any search engine, becoming a black hole for information etc… Unfortunately

            Not true. You search the discord server you want to join, follow the invite link, and boom, you’re in the server. Start talking to people, ask the community questions, and receive immediate response. If it’s not what you’re looking for, it’s easy to leave the server. Reddit isn’t popular solely because it’s posts appear on google search results.

        No. Don’t be obtuse. Discord hosts special interest groups that can converse in real time and make sticky threads to be replied to forum-style.
