> No, the 1-2 punch of Reddit and Discord have all but decimated the old vBulletin forum days. If you have a niche interest, Reddit and Discord are pretty much the only place to find a community for it. It's very dominant in that space now.

You missed the point. Reddit redesign is ensuring everybody flocks back to a more readable form of social media that does not look like reddit redesign.

I was reading yesterday about how "Old Reddit" is often used by a tiny proportion of users (~5%) and the vast majority of users are using a mobile app to access it.

This varies by subreddit, of course, but anything with mainstream appeal is likely to have most users on mobile web or an app.

I wonder which percentage of the most active users are among those who choose to do that (versus the casual users who only spend less than five minutes on the website).

I wish - there does not seem to be anything that fulfills Reddit's niche that is taking up significant marketshare.
