how did you find out about Lemmy? (reddthat.com)

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?

Old account here. I was directed to Hexbear after r/cth was banned from Reddit. Later on, I learned about other instances. Federation wasn't a thing back then; I made an account here to check federation out once it finally released.

Yeah, those were the days. Hexbear carries some of the culture, but is generally a nicer place to be.
