I can't really recall when I first learned about it existing. But I was looking into options for messaging, and saw it mentioned alongside matrix in an article. I'm fairly sure it was lemmygrad that I tried out at the time, because everything there was politically oriented, and with a heavily socialist/communist slant. That was back a while though
But it was pretty empty, so I didn't go back until the reddit shit with Apollo happened. It was obvious to me that reddit was changing beyond what I was willing to put up with, so I looked into alternatives and discovered that lemmy was actually much netter developed than when I originally saw it. Kbin came along with that.
