I'm old school.
Appears that "squabbles" is still alive
I remember hearing about that one as I was leaving Reddit. I was between that and Tildes, but ended up settling on Lemmy and Kbin. Glad to hear they're still surviving.
let me list two not federated options.
but both are self hosted.

if you use gemini protocol, you probably know about it: bubble is a reddit like software. i know about two deployments, the original, by the author is at gemini://bbs.geminispace.org
users also can have their blog feeds on it.
I've tried to use Gemini browsers, but they are too complicated for my human brain. I can't remember which browser it was, but it was used mostly for Gemini space.

What is this black magic?? How are these symbols a valid domain name???
It feels like there's an opportunity for shenanigans here.
Getting drunk, going out on the street and screaming abuse at strangers in the middle of the day.
I think they mean for the parts of the day where we aren't all angry dads. You know, bedtime and the such...
Discuit? I was on it for a bit around exodus
How was it?
MetaFilter. It's a very old school general interest indexer/forum. It's been around since 1999, has a lot of well known professionals on it, requires a small fee to make an account, they pay their moderation team a living wage because it is a job, and has recently transitioned to official non-profit organization status.
Quality links, quality discussion, (although discussions are chronological, not threaded or voted on, first post gets top spot) plus some goofy stuff and random quality art thrown in. Kind of general interest, but because of the format, some posts can have absolutely mind-bending numbers of links and in-depth information. Some users go all out in making insanely in depth posts that end up generating significant discussion. As I said, you have a lot of professionals on there, and unlike say, HackerNews, it's professionals of all stripes: scientists, programmers, lawyers, federal workers, economists, writers, musicians and so on.
