How familiar were you with the Fediverse before coming here? (kbin.social)

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.

I had a mastodon account from 2 years ago i never used (i don't like twitter style social media)

For the last year or so I've been using a private PeerTube instance I run to host videos my kids like to make and share with their friends/family. It isn't federated for privacy reasons.

I had used mastodon, akkoma and peertube before learning about Lenny when the Reddit stuff happened. I have never had an account on twitter and rarely used my Reddit account.

i'd used mastodon.social briefly after the tumblr porn ban but then switched back when it turned out to be not that big a deal. not to mention i really didn't understand the concept of different servers or how federating/defederating worked. i floundered for a couple of days before i came across my current setup. calckey account which i look at rarely and an account on a small lemmy server for stability purposes.

I didn't know anything about it, and I still pretty much don't know anything about it. In my super hazy interpretation, it sounds like it pretty much means there are a bunch of spaces that work standalone but it's possible to access one from another without having to sign up or anything to the other. Or something. I'll probably look into it someday but for now I'm just happy to have it.
