None. Although I've never asked

I know myself.

0 and I hope I never meet any of you.

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.

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.

Lemmy? I can’t even get them off the goddamned Facebook.

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)_/¯

Buddy, I don't even know myself.

Any time I’ve brought it up everybody glazes over the first time I say the words “instance” or “federated.” I’ve tried the email analogy, but they lose interest immediately.

There seems to be 3 forum platforms.

1. Lemmy
2. Reddit
3. Gab

I hear about reddit on the radio and people talk about reddit. No one talks about the other two.

2 in my local area. It's how I found out about it. We have been slowly growing the community.

Oh God I would never admit this to anyone IRL

Zero. However I would be interested in seeing anyone in real life. I feel like it would go do in Lemmy history.

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.

Just one, the only relatively tech-savvy person I know irl

0, and happy to keep it that way.

Zero. I think one lives near me based on some posts they made (as in near the same major city, could still be hours away). Another mentioned going to the same convention I go to every year but it's a massive convention that brings in people from all over the world. The two friends I have that used RIF is fun for Reddit back in the day switched to the official app instead of trying alternatives.

Just my wife, who downloaded the app for me and subscribed to instances because it's too complicated and effort

None, as far as I know.

Zero. I know a couple of you nerds live in Philly and that terrifies me. I also know the reverse is true. This is the game we have agreed too.

Just my partner and I.

Big fat goose egg 0. A lot of people I talk to don't even know what Reddit is, really.

None, and that's probably a good thing. And also really not unexpected given how small the platform is.

No. No one else, which is great.

No. No one else, which is too bad.

Two. The friend who sent me here and a friend I sent here.

one of my friends uses lemmy

None. I normally don't give out my social media to people IRL, so there's no way they'd know I'm on Lemmy not I know they're on here either.

My partner was on it for like a minute but I don't think they use it anymore. Certainly not as much as I do.
