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.
First thought it sounded like a scam because people were talking about it the same way people talked about crypto. Looked into it enough after the reddit api shenanigans that I wanted to make a lemmy account and I’m still learning new things about it.
It’s like reddit, but on the blockchain! /s
