      Not that person, but I found out about lemmy from reddit. There are people talking about it when this kind of stuff comes up.

      Honestly googled Reddit alternatives and the first search was from Reddit discussing Lemmy. Took a peek and now I’m here. I like Lemmy, just communities are a hit or miss due to inactivity.

        Agreed about the inactivity but hopefully more users make the transition as reddit continues to filter people out
