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.

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

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.

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

I think mostly 30s and 40s based on the memes

I would estimate

15% <25

60% 25-40

25% 40+

Y'all be showing your age sometimes 😅

85% neckbeards

0-100 I believe

There's at least one 57 year old.

As a serious answer, I’d guess Lemmy skews younger. Too many idealists here to think the average user base has the wisdom that comes from experience.

Sorry, younglings. You’ll know when you get older: the long view clearly demonstrates optimism is a lie. History is a corkscrew. Progress is made, but only through endless repetitions of past mistakes.

Younger than 30yo the technical knowledge declines rapidly, so it's very unlikely for them to be here.

Most user are in age b/w 30-50 I guess. I am 17 btw.

My steam account is nearly 20, lol

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).

Reassessing after this week's events, most of the users I would have previously guessed were high school sophomores are probably adult Americans.

I'm 19!

I'm 18 if that's any help 🙃
