The comments that I made on Reddit that mentioned kbin mysteriously disappeared.
I was slowly migrating to mastodon, and that's where I clicked on some guy's profile, and he had a link to kbin.social in his profile. After I visited the link, the site interface felt instantly familiar to me, so decided that kbin would be my new home.
I saw a post from earnest and he started following me on mastodon. Then joined kbin during the reddit migration, and kept up with @stux when he started up Geddit.social
On the blackout day of Reddit I hop here, I'm still here an will be for a long time.
Reddit. Someone mentioned Lemmy in r/apolloapp. Some were upset knowing the news that Apollo would be shutting down by the end of the month so folks started mentioning alternatives. I welcome the change βΊοΈ.
I found out about it years ago (before the pandemic) at r/privacytoolsio or r/privacy or something.
In a Facebook chat group, set up by Hungarian leftist tech guys.
From comment on Reddit
It feels like a lot of people new to the fediverse think it revolves around lemmy. It always feels a bit divisive to come across posts like this that single out lemmy. It would be nice if people asked about the fediverse or threadiverse or something. Don't forget that us kbin users (among others) are browsing the same threads and partaking in the same discussions.
I didn't know there were other reddit like federated apps out there, my bad.

I can't really recall when I first learned about it existing. But I was looking into options for messaging, and saw it mentioned alongside matrix in an article. I'm fairly sure it was lemmygrad that I tried out at the time, because everything there was politically oriented, and with a heavily socialist/communist slant. That was back a while though
But it was pretty empty, so I didn't go back until the reddit shit with Apollo happened. It was obvious to me that reddit was changing beyond what I was willing to put up with, so I looked into alternatives and discovered that lemmy was actually much netter developed than when I originally saw it. Kbin came along with that.
I saw the drama thread re: the removal of the post about moving to kbin lol. Haven't been back since except to guide people to the verse.
