In fact, I think at least in Brazil Reddit is becoming more and more popular. Go back like 5 years ago and Brazilian subs in Portuguese were small and low-traffic except for one or two (ex: /r/brasil).
Now there are a bunch of different themes and I see new topics being discussed quite often.
I believe the reason is Facebook has enshittified so much that its communities are dying quickly and Brazilians are finding Reddit works better for simple discussions. Also no one posts anything personal on FB anymore, it’s all Instagram style reposts so it lost any purpose.
