Most people aren't even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It's not that hard.

I think a lot of my reddit usage boils down to searches.

"Best pregnancy lotion reddit"

"Bed gouging ender 3 pro reddit"

"Submarine disaster askhistorians"

Are the main ways I used reddit this week.

Before all the drama I had pointed to many friends that most discourse and live interaction on my regular subreddits had already moved to discord. The unified ui and functioning search make it more useful.

But discoverability is zero for that content. discord is "deep web" which is not indexable at all by search engines.

for me discord is just not organized. There is no way im scrolling up on conversations when I have not been on for three days much less a week. I think discord only works if you are looking to be on social media all the time or at least daily.

Agree. No matter what discord is still essentially just a chat room imo. Even with bots, read only channels, pinned messages, etc., navigating and searching for stuff that I want is still as painful as any other instant messaging services.

Yeah, and just googling something will be completely useless with a project named after a famous rock musician.

„How to upload pictures lemmy“, yes, thank you google, I know how Lemmy Kilmister looks, thank you.

That’s (among other things) why I hope kbin will be the victor of that race…

although, I'm sure, google results will adjust accordingly eventually.

im not sure I want a victor or even see a race as long as the federation survives we all win.

If I'm not wrong, kbin right now isn't allowing for web crawlers. So using kbin for searches like for Reddit isn't possible for now as well.
