Nope, but I have had the thought that small-scale regional meet-ups could be fun.
On the one hand, smaller old-school forums do/did that sometimes and it can be really cool, if thinking in the spirit of the old internet.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I remember the infamous pictures from the Reddit meetup and good God, maybe not?
Sadly no. Ive recommended the fediverse to a couple dudes, one of them is too much of a normie to care (i will lecture him again soon xD) and the other doesnt like the fediverseπ chose bsky instead of mastodon.. (oh and a third guy just said fuck u and fuck all this stuff alltogether, he was fed up with me complaining ab big tech lmaooo at least he uses matrix to chat w me now)
I wouldn't know because I've never mentioned it to anyone.
Me and my friend both switched from Reddit at the same time when the apps died.
That would require me to actually know someone.
I envy you. Youβve reached what I desire.
I donβt even know anyone that uses Reddit π«
Not yet, but it seems to be growing.
I know one guy, but I know him from a IRC (now Matric) channel, but we are offline friends too and visited each other often.
Know him, I am him
Real person alert π€
But even for reddit I only know a person in real life that uses it. I tried to convert him, he said "there are too many Linux apologists" π€·π»ββοΈ
See? Tankies aren't a problem at all. What're yall worried about?
My spouse. But that's it.
That would imply that they know it even exists
Let me stop you before you suggest a narwhal bacons at midnight equivalent for lemmy
There's no way to know
Nah. My brother, wife, my two best friends and one co-worker are the only ones who even know it exists, and that's because they know I use it as an alternative to reddit since the API fiasco. It's honestly pretty obscure, but I like it that way. I'd love to see larger niche communities, especially since r/stalker was one of the only places I could actively talk about my favorite game series, but Lemmy has been a far better experience overall.
I didn't know a single redditor either, some ppl who had seen my name (my dumbass doxed my full unique name as my username when I was a kid and I didnt change it forever) irl had mentioned it to me, but they didn't use it past google, they weren't posting, commenting, or signing up
People don't like redditors in general, its an insult, I dont think lemmy has the same vibe but its also not popular
My immediate meat-space circles are aware of it and have stopped asking me WTH is wrong with my meme links in the group chats.
I do not believe anyone else has an account.
No
Same. Everyone that i know of that once used Reddit is still over there.
If, for whatever reason, Reddit allows third party apps to be usable again over there like before the fallout then i might go back. But until then i am here.
I don't really miss reddit itself, just the breadth of content that was there
I agree. The Blender community here seems very small in comparison :'(
I've only actively converted one person so far, but there is one other person whom I suspect of using lemmy but have not confirmed.
Probably a couple people but it has never actually come up in conversation. I'll ask next time I see them.
Of course I know him, it's me!.jpg

Don't look into the O, or you'll get poked.
