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

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!

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

I always hated reddit. Never used it. When I heard about lemmy, it just sounded better. So, here I am.

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.

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.
