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

Not exactly what you’re asking, as I was on reddit for many years. Never touched twitter tho, but nonetheless I’ve been really enjoying Mastodon

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 weeks ago

exactly me, I tried to get into Twitter a few times in the late 2000s and 2010s, but never could really see the use of it; nowadays I am a regular reader of Mastodon

Reddit meanwhile I have been active on (sometimes more, sometimes less, on different accounts) since 2014, so I can't post a top-level answer here. I still enjoy forum-style communities like on Lemmy more than I enjoy microblogs, so post a lot more here than on Mastodon, but I read both regularly.
