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

I came from Tumblr, heard about this place when when people on Tumblr where talking about the fediverse

Same here! I remember when Digg only supported single-level replies. Good times…

I’ve used reddit.com before but I never made many posts or comments and I haven’t used it in years. I’m pretty sure there was a period where I visited it regularly though.

I don’t think I’ve ever posted anything with facebook.com or twitter.com either. I never browsed them for fun, and if I want to coordinate with someone in my family I just contact them directly. I do use youtube.com a lot though.

I tried using pleroma but I haven’t used that in a while either. I prefer lemmy much more (probably because posts being different from comments provides more structure).
