how did you find out about Lemmy? (reddthat.com)

I found out about it because of a hacker news comment discussing the Reddit drama. I'm pretty upset that I didn't discover it on Reddit. I assume any mention of Lemmy was marked as spam or was I just not browsing the right communities?

Using my kbin.social user, although I have a lemmy account too (sopuli.xyz).

I find out about Lemmy after I joined Mastodon last year, on April. I don't remember if I was told about Lemmy by another user, or it was me who was digging on other fediverse projects. I liked the idea of a federated Reddit-like, but I didn't get very engaged because it had few users, and I was still learning about federation and instances. Now it's different and more awesome.
