There’s no viable alternative, at the moment (especially Lemmy). I fully assume this will blow over. Digg users had somewhere very obvious, already established, to go.

I mean, the web is big right? There are plenty of forums people still use, maybe some big subreddit just go back that route.

That's my plan. Most of the subs I visit on Reddit still have large and active forum alternatives that I'll just return to.

There's only a few niche subs that will be hard to replace for me, but they're talking about moving.

That’s the entire problem and why Reddit is so successful. People don’t like jumping around between topic specific websites. Discoverability is too hard.
