For me a social media in a linux distro called blendos and because reddit sucks and is soo toxic man
Minutes before the reddit API pricing changes being announced, i started testing 3 party reddit apps because the official one was terrible
While testing, i found a post about the reddit changes but ignored it
I ended up using boost for reddit.
During the community strikes, i rarely opened reddit to check one of the subreddits about the protests
I found out about lemmy from the announcement of he creator of boost for reddit making boost for lemmy
