Guy from work posted a Lemmy meme link.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

God, I hope not.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

not that I'm aware. my wife made an account somewhere but doesn't use it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I do. But despite my best efforts at explaining and advertising this platform, none of my friends seem to care 🥲.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

That's crazy. How are they keeping up with news about Trump and Musk then?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Really, this amounts to a question of who has recommended lemmy to others. Which is an interesting question.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I've recommended it to others, but none are interested, which is extra surprising considering how many of them work in tech or tech adjacent.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Lemmy is more its memes than its technocommunist roots. It’s not a very sticky experience if you don’t like the memes. (I like the memes)

Not enough grimdank to keep them

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

I don't even know anyone who uses BlueSky and that's considerably more trendy lately. Granted, most of my contacts are 20 something college girls so it's pretty much TikTok as far as the eye can see.

Yes, myself. That's it though

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

My own spouse, but...as the statisticians would say, that is not really two independent samples.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Well of course I know him. He's me.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If they do they probably don't talk about it, tbh.

What's the lemmy version of "the narwhal bacons at midnight"?

I met up with some guys (and gals) from [email protected] at the Chaos Communication Congress in December. They also took a group photo together that I unfortunately missed.

Some people in my local Hackerspace also use Lemmy. One of them was Admin on feddit.de before it shut down.

If you have a Hackerspace where you live, there is a good chance that some people there use Lemmy too.

edit: Hacker as in Hacker Culture or in the sense of the German Wikipedia Entry for Hacker and not in the sense of the Security Hacker

Why yes I do know him, he's me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

No. I happened across somebody on Lemmy from the same sub 100k city as me though.

I haven’t talked about it with my social circles but I would be surprised if nobody I know is on here.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn't this all a simulation anyway???

Seriously though, I do know several people IRL that are Lemmy users.

I know for certain I am the only Lemmy user within a 300km radius

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I actually know one person IRL that uses Lemmy. We both found it independently of one another.
