How familiar were you with the Fediverse before coming here? (kbin.social)

Before the whole Reddit migration I was passively aware of the Fediverse, I thought I somewhat grasped the concept, and had created a Mastodon account, but never really used it.
But once the migration started, I decided to try out Kbin, and really liked it, and even started to use Mastodon more often.

Had a Mastodon account years ago (whenever the radical.town instance was a thing). But I never used it because I never used Twitter either. Made an account recently on an instance for music that I'll actually use - was reminded by all the Twitter stuff. Likewise, I joined kbin and Lemmy to check them out when everyone else did during all the Reddit commotion.

I had a general idea of the Fediverse, how it worked, and some of the platforms on it (Mastodon, Friendica, etc), but never really got into it til earlier this year, as I just never really had a reason.
