      In my case, like so many others, I’m a Reddit refugee. I was mostly a lurker over there, but I spent enough time to know things were going all the wrong ways. They had some good explanations of what Lemmy was and how to use it, and that’s how I got here. Others have pointed out that us old folks were used to Usenet and other similar things so maybe this isn’t all that alien. Also, fuck spez.

          It was actually the other way around - several of the posts on Reddit about where to go next explicitly mentioned lemmy.world, so I started there. I wandered around for a bit and then looked for apps that offered something similar to the Apollo experience. There are a lot more out there now but Memmy works for me, so that’s where I am.
