There’s Sup being developed by dansup (the lead dev of Pixelfed). Did he stop the development?
I mean, it’s not exactly a Discord alternative, but rather an attempt at instant messaging.

People should also stop trying to make Lemmy something else than just forums.
tf2c took away my beloved bushwacka and piss jar
I believe this is coming in the next release (v1.0.0)
You can check it out at https://voyager.lemmy.ml/
It’s very ironic for deflect to use cloudflare for their security checks when visiting their ToS.
Other than that, it seems ok as an alternative.
Feels like Opera GX but for VPNs. Mullvad is still the most viable VPN.
Canister shot.
I thought of something else when I saw the grape shot.
Lawnchair
Though it is a bit buggy for me.
it’s called a shortcut
Sunshine and a few others were talking about building a federated Linkedin alternative on Matrix, I don’t know what happened to it now.
fedidb.com reports what the instances’ nodeinfos state. Where do you get what the servers themselves report, other than their nodeinfo?
Their .onion and clearnet links still work:

Mbin is not as popular as Lemmy or Piefed, so nobody talks about it. Even before Piefed started being popular, Kbin was still not that popular compared to Lemmy in the past nor Piefed right now (might be an exaggeration).
With the Kbin lead dev, Ernest, not being active enough (due to medical reasons), the community forked Kbin, which is what we know today as Mbin.

Piefed does have that feature, if that’s what you are asking.
It has more features than Lemmy atm, such as custom feeds, flairs or tags or whatever you call them, community moving, etc. (Some of which will also come to Lemmy in v1.0.0): https://join.piefed.social/features/
Since it uses Python and not Rust, it can be developed faster* => faster development and more first time contributions.
Of course it isn’t perfect, it has its downsides as any other software. You might also find it more attractive if you don’t like the Lemmy devs’ political views.
Though it is a bit opinionated, it’s good to have another alternative in the threadiverse.
There can and always will be bots on the internet, you can try communicating in places where they most likely won’t be in.
Or you can always communicate offline aka with people in real life.
