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.

0, and happy to keep it that way.

Zero. I think one lives near me based on some posts they made (as in near the same major city, could still be hours away). Another mentioned going to the same convention I go to every year but it's a massive convention that brings in people from all over the world. The two friends I have that used RIF is fun for Reddit back in the day switched to the official app instead of trying alternatives.

None. Even trying to suggest Mastodon, still no luck which I just stopped as I'm just exhausted of hearing the answer "no".

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

None. I normally don't give out my social media to people IRL, so there's no way they'd know I'm on Lemmy not I know they're on here either.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

No. No one else, which is great.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

No. No one else, which is too bad.

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.

I have one friend that suggested him to use it, he tried it, he doesn't use it a lot, does it count?

[โ€“] vatlark 2 points 1 day ago

Sure, I'll add you to the tally

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

one of my friends uses lemmy

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I have had people who I know from other platforms come across me on Lemmy. Just got a DM the other day saying "Found you", we had a good laugh about it since we didn't know we both used Lemmy. However IRL I don't think anyone I know is nerd enough to be on Lemmy.

None here, had never thought about that. Now I feel lonely.

[โ€“] vatlark 5 points 1 day ago

You have all of us and the Lemmy shenanigans. It's a pretty lively bunch.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Not a single one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I convinced one person to make an account but they don't use it. I do know another person IRL who uses Mastodon, so i send them Lemmy stuff there

I know some people using that big social network Lemmy-like. But none of them came to here.
