How familiar were you with the Fediverse before coming here? (kbin.social)

Before the whole Reddit migration I was passively aware of the Fediverse, I thought I somewhat grasped the concept, and had created a Mastodon account, but never really used it.
But once the migration started, I decided to try out Kbin, and really liked it, and even started to use Mastodon more often.

Been aware of it for the past year since twitter fucked up API access and I knew that reddit was going public someday.

I even selfhosted a matrix server for a while to try to use discord less but that fizzled out. Its complicated and kind of resource intensive to host your own instances especially with federation. But I am glad that is an option and will do it when I can upgrade my homelab. Now that reddit has fallen I am committing to the fediverse using mastodon and lemmy.
