Discuit is one of the alternatives to Reddit which emerged at the same time as Lemmy (the other one being Tildes, mentioned at the end of the post)

Lemmy has 48k monthly active users (mau): https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Mbin has 862 mau: https://mbin.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Piefed has 133 mau: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats

On Tildes site, I counted around 25 posts per day: https://tildes.net/?order=new

We can see that federation was indeed a better solution, looking at the difference in number of Discuit and Tildes (not federated) vs Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed

      Nope. Discuit is not a part of the fediverse. They also seem to dislike the fediverse, as far as calling it something that can never become mainstream any day soon.

      Because of centralization and the dev’s delusions of being able to cover the fees for running the service can be fully provided by donations will eventually get it to be enshittified. What a beautiful person.

        what a retard

        Probably didn’t need the personal insult. Reddit with it’s CEO huff and puffmann is basically as bad as it gets, so I’m happy about every competition. Obviously Lemmy is doing way better but I’d be happy for Discuit to do well too.
