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
Technically I’m from digg
Speak up please, I can’t hear you over those creaking hips
Slashdot? Fark? BBSes? Smoke signals?
Me! I’m new to social media in general, decided to engage with it earlier this year by looking up lists of social media sites and then joined the ones I could find that I vibed with!
That’s awesome! Beginning your social media journey with the fediverse is great :)
Been having such a great time so far!!
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!!
What else did you join?
I’m on too many to list here, but here’s a few, I’m on Tumblr where I post my art, Cara, and Newgrounds
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
I always hated reddit. Never used it. When I heard about lemmy, it just sounded better. So, here I am.
Glad to have you here!
I have never used social media before joining Mastodon, then Lemmy.
i didnt come across lemmy, specifically. i wanted to build a public reddit clone, and found ‘kbin’, which federated both microblog (mastodon/universodeon/threads) and threaded forums (lemmy)… so i built that. kbin has since died, but was resurrected in a fork named mbin.
so im not technically on lemmy, but our instance fully federates with it.
ive been actively recruiting users from reddit who dont like swimming in bot farms talkin to eachother.
Moist cat sweat - 10/10!
I came from Tumblr, heard about this place when when people on Tumblr where talking about the fediverse
I never used reddit in my life. I joined mastodon few months ago. After that i found Lemmy. And joined
Nice! How are you liking it so far?
Really great. On mastodon not a lot of people will talk to you. I do but not as much as lemmy. So it’s great.
So I assume you went from Twitter to mastodon?
No i also never used Twitter. I randomly found mastodon from a yt video
Interesting. Good for you you skipped the toxic stuff
I’m from Mastodon
But I got to Mastodon from Reddit, so idk if that counts. :P

Jacob from TechLinked mentioned it. I had already dropped Reddit because the app sucks.
I came from EMPRESS’s suggestion to migrate here (she got banned from lemmy.ml and didnt bother to change instance), stuck with here after the whole Reddit API thing.
The denuvo cracker? You follow her recommendations?
I was already in Lemmy back then, but oddly enough I only noticed her after she was gone.
And frankly? Good riddance - she’s always finding new ways to create drama in the scene, and doesn’t even try to hide her blatant bigotry.

Slashdot > Digg > Reddit > Lemmy
“is anyone not from Reddit?”
“Me, I’m from Reddit”
?
