[-] 1984@lemmy.today 5 points 8 hours ago

Around 9 years old. Could be some 11 year olds in there.

[-] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 hours ago

I’m 30, so naturally I assume everyone else is too

[-] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 hours ago

28 and same. A lot more millennial energy here than Gen z. Honestly Lemmy feels like 2012 reddit to me so I assume it's mostly the same age group as me and a bit older. 🤷

[-] Today@lemmy.world 22 points 12 hours ago

There have been several polls. We're older and more female than you think.

[-] daddy32@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago
[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

I've been feeling more female ever since I got here, but maybe there's no correlation

[-] zerozaku@lemmy.world 15 points 11 hours ago

0-100 I believe

[-] fsr1967@lemmy.world 17 points 13 hours ago

There's at least one 57 year old.

[-] BLAMM@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago
[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Three.

Do we have to be 57? I just wanted to be part of a counting train.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

I'm 34, maybe if you're 23 and you climb on my shoulders

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 76 points 17 hours ago

I'd say we probably skew more towards 30s-40s a lot of us are transplants from other sites and have been around the block a few times - there are certainly younger folks too, but they had to somehow trip over fediverse tech through a fluke.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 24 points 16 hours ago

Yep, 37 here.
I found Digg just before the Exodus and hung around Reddit for a decade or so then split during the Reddit blackout.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I'm 27, and came here after the reddit blackout. Digg was before my time on the Internet. What was it like?

[-] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 10 points 15 hours ago

Don’t forget /.

I stayed around that one for way, way too long.

[-] hakase@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago

39 here, exact same backstory.

[-] AnotherMadHatter@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Wow. Same for me. Digg just before the implosion, then reddit for 10ish years then here. 52.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago

Did you have to peg me that hard before we've even met

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 7 points 13 hours ago

It's my usual ice breaker.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Seems like a young crowd to me based on the often naive and idealistic post replies. OTOH, I'm very often surprised that so many seem my age (50s).

[-] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 47 points 17 hours ago

Based on this poll with 599 participants from the german !ich_iel@feddit.org community, most of us are somewhere between 20 and 40 years old.

This is only a small fraction of lemmy users, maybe it just represents the age range of german meme enjoyers on lemmy, but I don't know of any other poll with a sample size this big.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 14 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Also see stats from:

Which are pretty similar.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Yeah, prolly shifts older by 1 or 2 demographics, is my guess.

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 33 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I would estimate

15% <25

60% 25-40

25% 40+

Y'all be showing your age sometimes 😅

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

I'd agree with your breakdown. I'm early 40s and I feel like most people here are give or take 10 years of me

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

Get off my lawn

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago

I'm old as fuck. I definitely show my age as often as possible.

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 12 points 17 hours ago

I showed my age in public and now I'm on a list... I keep getting AARP mailers.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 2 points 13 hours ago

The aarps mailers are great once this FEMA camps get going

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 6 points 16 hours ago

Awww man, I'm 2 years away from a bracket change.... My knees hurt more now.

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 13 hours ago
[-] mitexleo@buddyverse.one 12 points 16 hours ago
[-] cmoney@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

Hi 19 I'm dad.

[-] lnxtx@feddit.nl 8 points 15 hours ago
[-] Masta_Chief@lemmy.world 23 points 14 hours ago

Not an expert but I believe it's because they were born 19 years ago

[-] lnxtx@feddit.nl 10 points 14 hours ago
[-] Masta_Chief@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Oh. Looks like I got whoooshed

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 4 points 13 hours ago

It's ok. It is, in my opinion, one of the lamest memes on the internet.

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 15 points 17 hours ago

My steam account is nearly 20, lol

[-] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Had the same email address for 27 years...

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 3 points 13 hours ago

Solid, and still your main? My Hotmail would be similar age, but it's hardly used these days

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 7 points 15 hours ago

younger than on Mastodon (where it’s overwhelmingly 40+)

[-] Libb@jlai.lu 11 points 17 hours ago

I have no idea but I imagine most should be younger than I am (50+)

[-] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 13 hours ago

i think we should poll in it

[-] mayhair@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 17 hours ago

I'm 18 if that's any help 🙃

[-] ofk12@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Not sure, I'm mid thirties though

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 2 points 13 hours ago

This few years are the largest single age years in us population. I think 34 is peak. In US at least.
