Slashdot -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy. I used to spend lot of time on TheEnvironmentSite.org some time before Slashdot, but I cant recall whether anything else came in between those two.

I think StumbleUpon was between Slashdot and Digg. But my timeline may be off.

I went from StumbleUpon to Digg to Reddit and now here …

I skipped Digg. It seems like it was a primarily American thing, right? Anyways, I went 4chan -> stumbledupon -> 9gag -> reddit -> lemmy

[-] los_chill@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Similar, but I was scared off of the toxic dumps like 4chan early on so really just started with StumbleUpon -> reddit -> lemmy.

Wow I completely forgot about out StumbleUpom, I used to use that allot.

Me too, but I’d put Usenet in there before Slashdot.

Not AOL Keywords between those two?

[-] Yendor@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

That was me, but I also had Facebook between Digg and Reddit.

Anyone remember Fark?

I never found slashdot, and I wish I had. I’m a LUE to Gen[M]ay to YTMND to /b/ to Digg to Reddit to here person-thing.
