I don’t know any Lemmy users IRL. I have nudged my friends towards it. My partner has asked me to post things a few times. Just curious.
Edit: running total including the commenter: 32.5 people
Just my husband, but not sure he counts as he doesn’t have an account. I did meet one of my closest friends on Reddit though.
Seen with my own eyeballs?

But I’m pretty sure they post to Mastadon and it is visible here on Lemmy. Or maybe they have accounts on Lemmy.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There seems to be 3 forum platforms.
- Lemmy
- Gab
I hear about reddit on the radio and people talk about reddit. No one talks about the other two.
Interesting. This is the first I heard of Gab
Gab’s exclusively for nazis.
It’s like a far right Lemmy? Huh. Kinda like bizarro Lemmy.
I think the appeal is Trump is on Gab. (Don’t quote me. I’m not sure.)
Just my wife, who downloaded the app for me and subscribed to instances because it’s too complicated and effort
Yeah that’s certainly a weakness of signing up for the fediverse (Lemmy, mastodon, etc).
None. Although I’ve never asked
Just one, the only relatively tech-savvy person I know irl
Added to the tally. I’m not sure if the tally is larger or smaller than I expected.
I have at least 3 friends IRL that are on Lemmy. One of them I got to join, and two are friends I met doing mutual aid and other organizing projects. Later found out they’re on here.
You are the only person so far that knows someone else’s on Lemmy and you aren’t reason they joined or vis-versa
Huzzah! I know a bunch of geeks and radicals, so maybe that’s why.
Woah very cool. Excuse my ignorance but is “mutual aid” a term for helping out your neighbor? Which is something people have always done but it often sounds like when people use the term “mutual aid” it is a bit more organized. Does that ring true for you?
Yeah, that’s pretty much it. “Mutual aid” is meant to be distinct from “charity” which has a different kind of implication. Mutual aid is more about “we help each other”. Charity can absolutely be organized, but tends to be more “structured” than mutual aid efforts.
Makes sense. Thanks
Buddy, I don’t even know myself.
0 and I hope I never meet any of you.
I know myself.
Or do I?
X-Files theme
Vsauce intensifies
Zero. However I would be interested in seeing anyone in real life. I feel like it would go do in Lemmy history.
I’ve never met anyone in person who’s even heard of Lemmy. Well, at least whenever it’s brought up 😅
Trick question. I’m the only real user on the internet. Nice try.
Dead internet fact
That’s what the bot would say.
Everyone else is an agent in this honeypot
Lemmy? I can’t even get them off the goddamned Facebook.
Ha, I have a few of those myself
