The only successful examples I've seen of Reddit "unbundling" come from communities that were banned from Reddit. This is because of a quirk of how Reddit handles subreddit bans, where if a subreddit is banned and a new one is created with a completely different moderation team, different rules, etc. it will still get banned for being a "ban evasion" subreddit. This means that banning a subreddit effectively bans any hypothetical future subreddit dedicated to the same topic. Because of this, if the community cares enough to start a new website for the topic it's highly likely that most of the users will move over there.
