It's why I'm here! Reddit and their IPO can suck it. Started looking for a replacement and found Lemmy. I always think of the Koopa kid, though.
I believe that most people are here due to the APIcalypse, like you.
And... really, before that, this place was a ghost town. Then you had all that huge influx of newbies, so Lemmy became actually usable, albeit messy. Now things settled down and, although plenty users still behave like they were in Reddit, I feel like Lemmy already has its own culture.
I usually think of this:
Fucking Lemmings. I lost a good chunk of my childhood playing it. (I don't regret it.)
Loved this game.
