I found out about it because of a hacker news comment discussing the Reddit drama. I’m pretty upset that I didn’t discover it on Reddit. I assume any mention of Lemmy was marked as spam or was I just not browsing the right communities?

    After I saw the AMA with spez, I didn’t have any hope for reddit being useable anymore. So I googled for something else to do my doom scrolling. I ran across a 4 year old YouTube video explaining the fediverse. Then I googled fediverse reddit alternative, and here I am. I wish I would have found out about all of this a long time ago.

    Found out about Lemmy a while ago the through an app that existed for it (Lemmur) due to weird search of Fdroid, when the shit hit the fan I just followed the crowd.

    Reddit has been banning/deleting comments and subreddits dedicated to Lemmy or Kbin—unless someone notices, then they un-delete or un-ban

    Came here after leaving Reddit and looking for alternatives. Happy to be here and I’m never going back.

    Old account here. I was directed to Hexbear after r/cth was banned from Reddit. Later on, I learned about other instances. Federation wasn’t a thing back then; I made an account here to check federation out once it finally released.
