    When they first started joining Reddit, I thought of them as FaceBookers fleeing their parents and grandparents.

    That said, I am part of this new wave here. I have tried 3 separate times over the last few years to join the Fediverse but always ended up on instances that lacked content that was relevant to me. It almost went the same way this time when I joined kbin.social but I decided to try lemmy.world also and found a lot more communities that interested me here.

    Incidentally, as I understand it kbin.social should have been fine for me but was temporarily suppressing the feeds from other instances to help deal with the new wave.

      The real first wave were Digg refugees, but there’s some truth to that. Millennials made heavy use of Facebook but largely abandoned the platform when their parents showed up. The only people I know who are still using Facebook are my boomer-aged parents and their friends.
