Still searching. My goal is to replace Reddit [1] completely.
So far I've only replaced my motorsport subs (mostly F1) with Autosport Forums, a bona-fide old-school and vibrant community to this day.
Years ago I enjoyed the discussion on bluelight.org - happy to know it's still going strong.
What's missing in my life is a forum for movies, TV shows and one for video game discussion. Any suggestion?

My issue with Reddit is I started using it in my 20s and now 15 years later, the average age is still 20. The quality of discussion is on the floor, though some love to mention subs like /r/askhistorians which are an exception among a sea of memes, one line puns and terrible moderation.
I recently purged most of my subreddit subscriptions and really focused in on topics I care about that still have content I actually want to see. I probably dropped 90% of my subscriptions.
The payoff is that as long as I never visit “all” I get a fairly well curated list of posts that don’t suck.
I've been aggressively filtering and purging my Reddit feed for a couple of years, and at first it was enough, but only at first. I finally bit the bullet and deleted my account after ten years. I only go back to Reddit when I know there will be a particular thread that I want to read. So far, I'm not missing it.
Everyone’s responding to the part of your comment about Reddit but I’d also really like a recommendation for a quality place for pop culture (movies, TV games etc.) discussion.

Man I feel this.

Agreed. Reddit is all gifs, videos, memes or anime now. Mostly TikTok’s, really.
I rarely find myself sucked into rabbit holes like I did back when I first joined about a decade ago
