My journey with Lemmy started in 2022 out of interest in the fediverse and paranoia around how much control social media companies have, and how little choice common people are left with over the Internet.
Lemmy was much smaller back then. I really wanted it go get bigger, and tried to contribute to it. But it was small enough to be unsatisfying, so I would go back and forth between lemmy and Reddit.
After the Reddit fiasco, I shifted more and more towards lemmy and less towards Reddit. I finally abandoned Reddit when third party apps broke. I only go there for specific questions in communities that aren’t active on lemmy.
What about you?
When RIF stopped working and the Dev of RIF said he jumped to Lemmy I jumped too.
The only subreddits I visit on old are technical ones like Sysadmin, Cisco and the associated certification subs, and Fortinet.
The rest of the time I am scrolling new local or new all on Lemmy.
