        That’s the truth. For people remembering how large was Lemmy before the API fiasco, the vast majority of people here came from Reddit.

      Im sorry to inform you that:

      1. Lemmy is a reddit alternative

      2. What you did right now was very redditor esque

      I hope more people with niche interests will come to Lemmy - this is the only use case for this kind of social media for me, and Lemmy’s a bit lacking in this regard.

      But yeah, I’m not looking forward to those redditors who assume everyone’s a cis man and stuff :\

      how did you find Lemmy? did you find out through reddit?

      ive been here over a year now and I sure did. haven’t used reddit since.

      if you didn’t come here from reddit, I’d be curious to hear where you did come from before making a Lemmy account.

        how did you find Lemmy?

        via Mastodon. I still mostly use Mastodon (but I follow hashtags so its a little like an un-curated RSS feed in that respect. I’ve been on Mastodon for a couple years. I also use a couple other Fediverse projects eg Freindica, Bookwyrm and GotoSocial

        did you find out through reddit?

        no.
