I’ve noticed that most people here are ex-redditors, migrating due to the API changes and u/spez’s problematic leadership. I’m wondering, though, how many people here use Lemmy despite never using Reddit?
Personally, I only ever interacted with r/place, and lurked a few times, but I kept up with the protests and I liked the idea of building up Lemmy as a Fediverse alternative for Redditors to migrate to. So I’m not sure if I count.
I have to imagine a lot of people here have used Reddit or something similar to Reddit given the similarities.
What’s attractive to you about Lemmy that differs from Reddit that you want to use Lemmy for but not Reddit? What other social platforms did you use?
