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?

I went to see Motörhead at Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg around 1986 and there he was, center stage.

Oh. I learned about lemmy a while back after searching something like "fediverse like reddit". I didn't join until this year. I didn't know about the API wars until afterward.

I assume any mention of Lemmy was marked as spam or was I just not browsing the right communities?

The RedditAlternatives sub is about 10 years old. Fediverse sub 5 years. The Lemmy sub is newish, only 1 year.
