It's not "replacing", I don't think you can "replace" just the shear amount of information/images/shitposts on the site.
It however is serving as a fine "supplant" of the site. It's the same general image/link aggregation with the community of commenters...
For day to day browsing I've found Lemmy to be fine.
Historical records like information on a product or whatever I still go to Reddit for.
It's not a drop-in replacement by any means. It lacks all sorts of features, details, and community that I lost last month.
However, it does (mostly) hold the same place in my life. And having said that, I realize how pointless it really is if none of that really matters
