A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy) (www.reddit.com)

I haven't seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

Frankly I don’t want Redditors here

If there’s a single group of people I hate it’s Redditors. Just fuck them (haha zecks, my wife left me smh, I want this guys wife)

In an alternate universe I would be like a ted kaczynski of anti reddit sending hot packages to the authors of most painful comments

I hope more people with niche interests will come to Lemmy - this is the only use case for this kind of social media for me, and Lemmy's a bit lacking in this regard.

But yeah, I'm not looking forward to those redditors who assume everyone's a cis man and stuff :\

how did you find Lemmy? did you find out through reddit?

ive been here over a year now and I sure did. haven't used reddit since.

if you didn't come here from reddit, I'd be curious to hear where you did come from before making a Lemmy account.

how did you find Lemmy?

via Mastodon. I still mostly use Mastodon (but I follow hashtags so its a little like an un-curated RSS feed in that respect. I've been on Mastodon for a couple years. I also use a couple other Fediverse projects eg Freindica, Bookwyrm and GotoSocial

did you find out through reddit?

no.
