Just my husband, but not sure he counts as he doesnβt have an account. I did meet one of my closest friends on Reddit though.

But I'm pretty sure they post to Mastadon and it is visible here on Lemmy. Or maybe they have accounts on Lemmy.
Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
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).
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.
Ha I'll add 0.5 to the count
0.5. One friend found my lemmy account when scouring the internet for TTRPG maps. I think that halfway counts, even if he doesn't have an account of his own.
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
So far I don't think I've met anyone
PS. According to the subscribers of the Greek community, there are probably less than 70 Greeks online on lemmy (and probably some of them live abroad), so it's probably rather rare to find someone who uses it.
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 partner and I.
Big fat goose egg 0. A lot of people I talk to don't even know what Reddit is, really.
I know one.
I know one who I stumble upon once in a while in the comments, we say hi to each other
Two. The friend who sent me here and a friend I sent here.
Zero. However I would be interested in seeing anyone in real life. I feel like it would go do in Lemmy history.
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.
Buddy, I don't even know myself.
None, as far as I know.
None
no one uses lemmy in my country.
None. Even trying to suggest Mastodon, still no luck which I just stopped as I'm just exhausted of hearing the answer "no".
I know some people using that big social network Lemmy-like. But none of them came to here.
I tell many people about it, probably none have signed up but it's not my business to know their username if they have. Might be fun to meet some of you.
I am morbidly curious what the average Lemming is like.
