And the same for me as well. I used the official app, and had no issues with it personally. I lurked for the most part but chimed in on subs about some of my favorite shows and questions regarding programming.
Once the shitshow hit the fan, I was already planning my exit from Instagram (hardest one, lots of IRL friends over the years), and had joined mastodon. I actually signed up for lemmy and mastodon about a year prior to the migration, but at the time it was pretty dead. Now, while not as lovely as their corporate counterparts, each has a vibrant enough community that I'm not missing either.
