I don’t know any Lemmy users IRL. I have nudged my friends towards it. My partner has asked me to post things a few times. Just curious.
Edit: running total including the commenter: 26.5 people
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
Zero. However I would be interested in seeing anyone in real life. I feel like it would go do in Lemmy history.
Two. The friend who sent me here and a friend I sent here.
Buddy, I don’t even know myself.
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.
