does Discord provide any of the core functionalities of Subs, Posts, Comments, Up-/Downvotes?
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.
Doesn't matter. It's closed source, centralised and already enshittifying.
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.
I mean you have servers, and a forums feature. But... no not really...
It can have up/downvotes, comments and posts, but it would have an algorithm less advanced that lemmy. You can technically have multiple subs
You can kinda make discord into a reddit alternative, but you can also make lemmy a discors alternative. Either way, its not easy or seamless
