    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.

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