That's what I came here to check, mate.
Well take a look around lol. Both communities seem to be just starting up, so the content might be lacking. It seems like there’s been more activity here vs lemmy.world
@Mathusalem It is according to sub.rehab*, a site that lists alternative homes for subreddits. But this magazine is 2 weeks old, so it's early days.
*Not sure if everything it lists is genuine/accurate, but it does let you filter for "official" alternatives.
It's still to early to decide what's the successor, post-reddit communities are still forming
