Who here is NOT from Reddit? (sh.itjust.works)

It seems to me that most people here are from Reddit or looking for alternatives to Reddit. I dislike social media in general, but this is like — if I can call it this — a niche community on the internet. That appeals to me somehow. It would be nice to see who's here for the sake of Lemmy itself, like myself.

[Edit] An addition: I could be wrong about most people being from Reddit. I don't know that.

that's interesting. but:

why is it that you waited for lemmy in particular?
why wait at all, if it was already up? in other words, what does viable mean to you, for you to have come here now? i doubt that the reddit traffic has decreased that significantly.

I like this forum/link aggregator form factor and i prefer open source software and federation, but there wasn't enough content and the app wasn't good enough to be as addictive as reddit. Now there's enough new content and jerboa is a much more usable interface
