If so, how’d you hear about lemmy?

It feels like everyone here came from reddit but I’m curious if anyone found lemmy organically

Lemmy is def substantially higher quality content, commentary, and community as a whole compared to all the other popular social media I use. You made the right choice!!

It’s odd to me to see Newgrounds in a list of social media. I thought it was more of an indie game/animation-hosting platform, lol
