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?
I left reddit with the reddit fiasco. I heard of lemmy and created an account, but the only good Android tool back then Jerboa and I hated it so much.
The only tool I looked for reddit mobile was Reddit Sync. When Lemmy Sync was published, I started visiting Lemmy about half as much time as I used to spend on reddit. I’m good with this, I used to spend way too much time on reddit.
