Who here is NOT from Reddit? - sh.itjust.works

It seems to me that most people here are from Reddit or looking for alternatives to Reddit. I dislike social media in general, but this is like — if I can call it this — a niche community on the internet. That appeals to me somehow. It would be nice to see who’s here for the sake of Lemmy itself, like myself. [Edit] An addition: I could be wrong about most people being from Reddit. I don’t know that.

I registered here a few days before the reddit blackout because the admin of my instance posted about lemmy on mastodon.

So, I'm not directly from reddit, but I am/was also an active reddit user

Were there any discussions about Lemmy on Reddit during that time?

There were plenty of mentions of Lemmy during the lead up to the blackout.

I see.

I didn't notice any mention of Lemmy on the subreddits that I followed

Oddly enough, though I saw Lemmy mentioned on several of my subs, the first one I saw it on was on r/WitchesVsPatriarchy. You wouldn't think.

Techy subs like linux ones were talking about lemmy for a solid week before the black out (could have been longer I wasn't counting)
