I found out about it because of a hacker news comment discussing the Reddit drama. I'm pretty upset that I didn't discover it on Reddit. I assume any mention of Lemmy was marked as spam or was I just not browsing the right communities?

Came here after leaving Reddit and looking for alternatives. Happy to be here and Iโ€™m never going back.

Honestly, when I first came here, I entirely expected that Reddit would eventually cave and I'd return to it. I expected the Fediverse to fail. But instead Reddit has doubled down and the Fediverse has rapidly gotten considerably better. I'm intending to stay here.

Though admittedly I do worry about some smaller subs. Eg, my local city sub was fairly active on Reddit and was a great place to get local recommendations, learn about stuff going on, etc. I ended up making the community myself and am trying to seed some posts, but there's yet to be any other subscribers (though this does remind me to go post about it in subs for the province).
