> I want to migrate to a new community but I don't know which. Where is everyone going?

I don't think you'll find a similarly large or diverse community like Reddit has anywhere else, at least for now. The network effect is very much responsible for this, I'm fairly sure that many will still keep using Reddit until some viable alternative actually shows up.

> Mastodon seems a bit pie-in-the-sky if I may be honest.

Personally, I quite like Mastodon. There is some nice content to be found, it doesn't feel like it's spamming you with advertising just yet and in general it's not a hateful place. That said, Mastodon is more like Twitter than Reddit.

A more apt fediverse alternative to Reddit would be something like Lemmy: https://join-lemmy.org/

Of course, while the platform is there, the content isn't. Oh well, at least the UI/UX feels fairly user friendly, a bit like using Gitea instead of GitHub.
