If so, how'd you hear about lemmy?

It feels like everyone here came from reddit but I'm curious if anyone found lemmy organically

i didnt come across lemmy, specifically. i wanted to build a public reddit clone, and found 'kbin', which federated both microblog (mastodon/universodeon/threads) and threaded forums (lemmy).. so i built that. kbin has since died, but was resurrected in a fork named mbin.

so im not technically on lemmy, but our instance fully federates with it.

ive been actively recruiting users from reddit who dont like swimming in bot farms talkin to eachother.
