Reddit was my primary content aggregator. I'm from the old days, though, and they almost lost me with the redesign. With old.reddit.com though I could keep the experience I preferred, so I stuck around.

Now that they're pricing out third party mobile clients, though, I'm done with it. I do like that experience, though. I've use Diaspora for years now (after similarly jumping off the FB ship) so I when I found out there was a fediverse alternative with a similar feel I jumped at it. Doubly so when I saw that it was mostly associated with those of the leftist thought. I'm not that active on Diaspora because of all the alt- and far-right shitheels that migrated there when fucking FB got too "woke" for them. I've blocked more people there than I've followed. Lemmy's socialist bent is refreshing, though I'd like to see more libertarian socialist (e.g. anarchist, bookchin communalist/Rojava's democratic confederalist) discussions happening. I'm new though so maybe I just haven't found them.
