As I see it:

Reddit - Lemmy Discord - Revolt Twitter - Mastodon Snapchat / Whatsapp - Signal ? Instagram - No replacement to my knowledge Skype / Zoom - Jitsi

etc etc

    Lemmy fulfills a sort of reddit/more intimate internet forum thing. Reddit’s real social good was fixing shitty search engine results by using Reddit as a keyword, and for centralizing a lot of hobbyist discussion. Lemmy and the lemmylikes will get there as the platform matures.

    I’m loving pixelfed as a sort of Imgur substitute tbh. Quick and easy image hosting for when I post on here. Not crazy about Instagram as a social media platform so there’s nothing I need pixelfed to do besides let me host medium-sized images, caption them and copy the link.

      For imgur check out Catbox. I haven’t used it person, but it might be closer to imgur than pixelfed which is supposed to be an IG replacement.

      I feel that currently Lemmy may be less web searcheable compared to Reddit, since the domain names aren’t consistent. I mean not every instance’s domain’s are named with lemmy. sopuli.xyz, programming.dev, technics, reddthat etc. I haven’t tested it tho.

        Someone that is good with SEO could create a read-only instance that federates with every available instance to help with that
