I heard about Lemmy from Mental Outlaw and it caught my interest. The Reddit API situation made me finally decide to drop Reddit and make an account on lemmy.world. I haven’t turned back since.
What about you, what brought you to the Fediverse?

Reddit shat itself and on its users by forcing people to use an unusable app, and since I only found reddit tolerable via 3rd party apps I stumbled across Lemmy while looking for alternatives.
For me it wasn’t even matter of reddit only being tolerable via third party apps, third party apps were Reddit.
Reddit released their first app in 2014. My email shows I purchased “Reddit is Fun (Premium)” in 2013, and I know I used other apps before that.
Reddit is Fun WAS Reddit for me for 10+ years.
When it went away and I had to change anyway, I jumped to the closest thing. (Eventually landing on Voyager.)
My story is the same all the way up until I eventually landed on Boost.
