Discuit has a similar UI to Scored/Communities.win. Reddit style leaning a bit more minimal new Reddit.

Aside from Lemmy, the vast majority of Reddit alternatives are even less active than that. I would even say that discuit is in the top half of activity. Go through the full list in the sticky post. Most of them are quite small.

The point of this disc isn't to bash small alternatives, and it isn't only to push the only big alternative. It's meant to be open to new project and promote new ideas within the world of Reddit alternatives. Without community building, it's hard for projects to get off the ground.

That said, I've actually found discuit satisfying to use. Sure, it's a bit of a digital detox in comparation, but I've successfully quit reddit for the first time with it it's help since, well, when it was founded - I was one of the founding members before the digg migration. Remember Reddit back then? Posting on /r/reddit and employees seeing content? Discuit and Tildes are big reasons why I finally flipped the switch off. Both of those sites are also quite relevant to OP's original question.

Thank you for your comment!

Indeed, Discuit and Tildes can appeal for people who look for smaller communities. They will probably never reach 10.000 of users, and that's fine.

Thank you for your informative posts about lemmy as well.

Tildes obviously won't grow to be large, as it is explicitly against it. Discuit could grow to five figure user counts though. It's one of the reddit alts that I'm not counting out, especially because it's such a straightforward iteration on the Reddit model, basically just taking a simplified Reddit and making it open source and non-profit.

It definitely needs a few more contributing devs though, and the pending feature release is pretty critical to get out the door sooner rather than later (more comprehensive admin guidelines, new mod tools, and search... those are necessary for the site to have a new growth wave imo). Surprisingly enough, it has a nice, efficient codebase and it breaks even through donations, so that isn't a concern yet, although there are fallback plans in case the Wikipedia model falls short.

It's one of the few alts that I actually feel comfortable referring to friends and family though. I mean people like my sister, who is fairly anti-tech. I think that counts for something, and as such I do think that it is going to stick around.

That's definitely something nice nowadays
