How did you find Lemmy? (mander.xyz)

One day, I was about to install RedReader through F-droid. For some reason I searched for "Reddit" in the search bar instead of "RedReader" and saw Voyager, Jerboa and some other Lemmy clients there.

I got curious and installed "Eternity for Lemmy". I browsed around, then decided to created my first account on lemmy.ml. Instantly fell in love with how nice most people were, how quickly I got answers and replies and the closely-knit feeling of a small community where it's not surprising to see the same user in many different places.

I found Lemmy and decentralized social media by sheer luck.

I know most of you came here after the reddit API changes to spite the corporate site, but I wonder if there are other stories.

P.S. I find it sort of weird how lemmy.ml censors the word for "female dog". Cmon, that's such a tame and common insult! Can't even quote Jesse Pinkman properly.

re: password managers, I can recommend BitWarden. Open source and free for personal use. Can donate for a couple enhanced features. Also have the option of self-hosting.

How's Proton Pass? Seems like I can't download BitWarden from Fdroid, although I imagine there's an .apk somewhere online

Haven't tried Proton Pass, so can't speak to it. As for BW, you can get it from FDroid, but have to add their repository. It's on their Download page.
