Maybe. Maybe not. A number of posts (@alien.top) are just re-posting reddit.

Even if we exclude the alien.top mirror bots (which have been disabled about a month ago), this is still the most active one...

Good to hear. I had to filter out all the @alien.top threads at some point after I accidently replied to one thread here instead of reddit and my reply was not seen by the author requesting help.

Yeah, my bad. Two-way communication has shown to be a bit tricky to be done properly. It will require either keys for users or for the answer to be sent as a DM

There are a couple of other Fediverse communities for Emacs (ex: https://kbin.social/m/emacs/newest , https://programming.dev/c/emacs?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New , https://lemmy.ml/c/emacs?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New (which is down at the moment)), but none are particularly active.
