What is real?
Everyone I know in real life only uses Facebook…
idk a redditor, let alone a lemming
Really, this amounts to a question of who has recommended lemmy to others. Which is an interesting question.
I don’t like recommending to friends because then they’ll ask me what my account is and I prefer to stay anonymous. I feel like I probably have friends that are on Lemmy and haven’t shared with me for the same reason tbh.
The worst thing I ever did was get to the front page of Reddit back in 2010 and then all my friends knew my handle forever.
I considered it when I got my friends to join Reddit ~20 years ago. I made a second account that just posted links to cat pics, no comments. Cute animals are a safe bet.
Bonus, they started sending me cute pictures of their ferrets and dogs that I wish I had backed up beyond a long forgotten flickr
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.
I mentioned it, but didn’t try to recommend it to my forty something sisters who mostly use Facebook, because I figured it was a lost cause (and we’re small enough that I’d be very identifiable from my comments), but try were both very interested in it. Unfortunately, I lost them trying to explain it.
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)
No :(
Someone wanna meet up?
Why would we? Even Reddit had a secret salute when it was starting, because it was growing slowly. Something social exploding is not the norm, but the result of aggressive marketing, which Lemmy instances can’t afford, and have no need to pay for.
yes, but we never acknowledge each other outside the application
I wouldn’t be surprised to find a friend, a cousin, and a friend’s husband- just because they’re all 3 smart, techish, liberal, and news aware.
I look in the mirror every morning and yell at that fucking idiot who uses Lemmy. It’s my favorite time of the day. :)
I met up with some guys (and gals) from !ich_iel@feddit.org 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
Wait, someone knew the admin the whole time? I thought they went missing, but I also didn’t pay super close attention. I hope all is well with them.
not the original admin, but he got access right to the server
however he then lost his ssh key
My own spouse, but…as the statisticians would say, that is not really two independent samples.
I don’t know any other people that use it, but other people know I use it 😄
I wouldn’t know because I’ve never mentioned it to anyone.
no and i don’t think anyone here is real
You were programmed to say that because I’m the only one that’s real.
Nice try bot, I’M the only real one here
I’m not real, but in a figment of your imagination type of way.
I am real, but a bot is situationally reposting my stuff from other platforms to make me appear active here.
My wife. Hey wait a second, that lamp looks odd…
