I never really got the distinction. Reddit was just a massive forums with a lot of subforums. So yeah, there’s the difference that it’s centralized, but that was a pro in my book.
Now Lemmy/Kbin etc. seem to do the best of both worlds - centralized and decentralized at the same time.
So IMO yes, these sites are the successors. Not Discord, though, that’s a non-indexable chat app.
The difference is the voting.
And slight shifts in UI.
But nothing ever really changes. Facebooks current UI is an echo of AOL.
