I found out about it because of a hacker news comment discussing the Reddit drama. I'm pretty upset that I didn't discover it on Reddit. I assume any mention of Lemmy was marked as spam or was I just not browsing the right communities?

Came across a reference to it on Reddit. I didn't do anything at the time, but when I came across two or three more references to it just before the blackout I thought I'd give it a try.

Saw kbin mentioned in a verge article comment section during the reddit coverage.

After I saw the AMA with spez, I didn't have any hope for reddit being useable anymore. So I googled for something else to do my doom scrolling. I ran across a 4 year old YouTube video explaining the fediverse. Then I googled fediverse reddit alternative, and here I am. I wish I would have found out about all of this a long time ago.

Reddit has been banning/deleting comments and subreddits dedicated to Lemmy or Kbin—unless someone notices, then they un-delete or un-ban

Sounds like the Streisand Effect is working.

Old account here. I was directed to Hexbear after r/cth was banned from Reddit. Later on, I learned about other instances. Federation wasn't a thing back then; I made an account here to check federation out once it finally released.

Yeah, those were the days. Hexbear carries some of the culture, but is generally a nicer place to be.
