idk a redditor, let alone a lemming

[–] oakward@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

Not really, but I found out about lemmy and the Fediverse one week ago. I already told about it to 2 people, maybe if you ask me again in a couple of weeks the answer may be different

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

I know for certain I am the only Lemmy user within a 300km radius

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago

Not enough grimdank to keep them

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.

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

My spouse. But that's it.

Me and my friend both switched from Reddit at the same time when the apps died.

[–] lena@gregtech.eu 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

One person, a relatively techy friend. He uses my server, the username is @Fortatech@gregtech.eu

He has been summoned

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't be surprised to find a friend, a cousin, and a friend's husband- just because they're all 3 smart, techish, liberal, and news aware.

[–] vane@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

What's real life ?

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

nope, I'm the only one I know irl that uses any type of the fediverse

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yep. Friend browses slrpnk.net regularly.

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 3 points 2 months ago

Why would we? Even Reddit had a secret salute when it was starting, because it was growing slowly. Something social exploding is not the norm, but the result of aggressive marketing, which Lemmy instances can’t afford, and have no need to pay for.

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.

[–] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago

I don't know any other people that use it, but other people know I use it 😄

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No :(

Someone wanna meet up?
