I found it through StumbleUpon, which until reading comments here I always thought was just a sweet browser plugin. Never knew it had a site beyond a landing page and download button. Stayed at Digg until a friend showed me Reddit after Digg started sucking.

Same.. Stumbleupon -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy

I don't recall why I went away from SU but both the others were as a protest

Weirdly enough for me: Digg -> Imgur -> Reddit -> Lemmy.

Imgur added user accounts just prior to Digg v4 going live.

Imgur having a community in itself always feels so funny to me. Like a group of forgotten humans feeding off the scraps of the rest of society that don't even know they exist.

I switched to Reddit when I realized I was basically one of those Futurama sewer mutants.

For me it just became cumbersome stumbling over and over, finding useful or novel sites less and less often
