Are there any Reddit alternatives these days? Something like HN but more slightly more casual (image/video embeds, subreddits)

Lemmy is the main alternative that isn't computing topics only. The biggest server is https://lemmy.world.
I'm building an HN clone, and underpinning is a set reconciliation protocol. https://kiwinews.xyz
https://headcycle.com

I built it, and it's sort of more like HN or old.reddit.com and has image/video embeds and a lot more...except it also has the chicken and the egg problem : )

The default place for younger online communities is now overwhelmingly Discord. It's not a 1:1 replacement, but that's where the people are.
SomethingAwful putters along under new ownership, with fairly decent moderation.
Tildes.net, I think it's still invite only, but it's my second or third go to Lemmy and hacker news
4chan.org

r/SomethingAwful is a private community

First Reddit makes it private. Then Reddit bans the moderator. Then the sub is banned because there's no moderator.
