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?
On Mastodon!
Saw kbin mentioned in a verge article comment section during the reddit coverage.
Reddit, like most comments here
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.
If I remember correctly, I found Lemmy while looking into how to ‘de-google’ my phone
I went to see Motörhead at Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg around 1986 and there he was, center stage.
Oh. I learned about lemmy a while back after searching something like “fediverse like reddit”. I didn’t join until this year. I didn’t know about the API wars until afterward.
I assume any mention of Lemmy was marked as spam or was I just not browsing the right communities?
The RedditAlternatives sub is about 10 years old. Fediverse sub 5 years. The Lemmy sub is newish, only 1 year.

I think I was looking for open source software and there was a section for social media
I saw it on hacker news and wanted to check it out as I intended to delete my Reddit account but wanted a new home where I could get my info fix. I came, I saw, I deleted my Reddit account and here I am :)
Hacker news was my fix last Monday and it always delivers!
