> Lots of the Reddit alternatives, including Discord, seem to be missing the core idea of what Reddit really is (a community of communities). I think first and foremost it's the community aspect of Reddit that makes it appealing.

Lemmy has this aspect nailed down. Reddit is not special in that regard. Reddit was special in the way it presented itself as a community driven service that was easy to join. Once you get rid of the community aspect, which Reddit's CEO did with his persecution of anyone who protested against his decision, then alternatives such as Lemmy jump ahead as the best option out there for community driven service.
