    How did you find out about lemmy? I’ve long since lost the knowledge to find new cool internet stuff, until it becomes more popular, like lemmy

      I believe it was on one of those “alternative to” websites. I felt Reddit was toxic 4 years ago and was looking for a new home. Found Lemmy, but it was a painfully low userbase back then. I ended up getting sucked back into Reddit for a couple of years. I’m so glad to see people actually using Lemmy now.

        New to Lemmy. Still taking a bit to get “used” to it (look & feel, navigation, type of community, etc) but enjoying it so far.

      Find not a large, but very nerdy community and follow it. You’ll find many more small and nerdy communities. And some of them will be focused on cool/odd internet places.

      For me, it was a linux-oriented youtube section, where I first find out about hackernews, r/internetisbeatiful and many FOSS and privacy-related subreddits.
