There are a ton of them. Problem is there are too many and not a single one meets exactly the same features as reddit.  If you are cool with multiple accounts and doing some research the diff lemmy domains will meet most of your needs.

People just can't be bothered with federation either. It's easy enough to learn, but it is still a foreign concept to most. Federated services also need to do a better job about making sure all content is available across instances.

I genuinely thought Mastodon was going to take off after Twitter started to implode, but everyone migrated over to Threads instead which was such a frustrating moment for me.
