Pretty similar for me, but I never did Fark. Funnily enough after digg was sold and relaunched I started using the new digg pretty regularly. It isn't old digg, but it does find and aggregate decent news and entertainment links.

I had the same journey but I'm pretty sure I found Slashdot by way of boingboing which I found by way of Diesel Sweeties blog posts when I first got a DSL connection in 2002 and was looking for comics and blogs to fill up my trendy new RSS reader lol

Somehow I missed Fark in that transition, but otherwise that was my journey too.

I hope so, but I'm not a believer yet.
Can’t leave out irc.
As someone who grew up speaking German: GiMiX => XiMiG => Heise forums and ALL of the IRC => Reddit => Lemmy
