Lemmy, no. Reddit, no. Fediverse: there are a few people (less than a dozen) that I have met IRL ("know" may be a strong word) and also have a more or less strong presence in the fediverse, primarily Mastodon.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

no
Yes actually, sadly it was just a one time talk and I never spoke to him again.
I look in the mirror every morning and yell at that fucking idiot who uses Lemmy. It's my favorite time of the day. :)
No
Nope
not that I'm aware. my wife made an account somewhere but doesn't use it
Yep couple people.
yes, but we never acknowledge each other outside the application
well yeah, furries
Several friends yes.
it's been 2 days and i think i found like 2 "Yes" responses in the entire thread. one was a techy friend, one was vague, and any other hits were just family/friends.
it'd be cool if Fediverse got some more recognition but it's definitely way too niche for the normies right now
Nope
Negatory
Probably a couple people but it has never actually come up in conversation. I'll ask next time I see them.
