Nope. When I left reddit, there was a lot of people pushing for discord like its a replacement. Its very much not the same thing. Its basically a chat room with a handful of extra features
And in a room with any measurable amount of people, it quickly becomes impossible to find anything or track conversations. I’m in a couple developer servers for some hosted apps, and goddamn is it painful when I actually need to use them for support. Hell, even my local friend group server with a dozen or so people can be annoying when it’s really popping.
I think the forums achieves this better. You could have the OP make a post on the forum, and then have emoji reactions be upvotes and downvotes. But it’s not really meant for it, not the same.
Even if it wasnt, i fail to see how going to Discord serves any of the purposes of reddit. So from my understanding you really have to go out of your way to choose Discord as a replacement over Lemmy. That is if you know Lemmy exists.
does Discord provide any of the core functionalities of Subs, Posts, Comments, Up-/Downvotes?

I mean you have servers, and a forums feature. But… no not really…
You can turn messages into threads so you get something that looks kinda sorta vaguely similar to posts if you squint.

Doesn’t matter. It’s closed source, centralised and already enshittifying.
