TodayWhats the lemmy demographic?
Female - old enough to have adult children, but not old enough to retire.
same, except male, and my wife and I started late so our children are nowhere near adults yet 😭
Started early and thought we’d be done early. You’re never done. Kids never give back the house key.
Your kids maybe
I lit outta town as soon as I could
My parents are great, but I could not wait to move to the other side of the continent
Having adult children sounds like it would rip you from arsehole to bellybutton dear
Ahh the ol’ Lemmy WhyTheFuckDidYouPhraseItThatWay
Do we have ol’ lemmy stuff now?
TheGreenGolemPhrasing! Are we still doing that?
Don’t forget that 98% of 14 year olds will not pipe up and go “Yeeeaahh! I’m just 14 in here!” This data has always been impossible to gather, as you simply cannot gather it objectively, it’s currently impossible at the technical level.
Throughout my teen years, whenever I had to submit real info for something, my name was Bob Barker and I just made up everything else on the spot. The computer had no way to verify if I am being honest, and I knew that.
And on that note, I am a snotty-nosed 14 year old.
I assumed they’re all on the gaming and meme communities. Oh, and porn.
Just wondering why this seems nicer than r/ and thought maybe it was less young people.
We know you’re not 14 because …
I was very interested in learning, during my youth. Not just the things my elders wanted me to see, either. I wanted to see it all. That even included world news and politics. It’s best not to stereotype teenagers, their array of diversity actually surpasses most other demographics in my experience.
14 year olds also don't know who Bob Barker is.
The computer had no way to verify if I am being honest, and I knew that
Im sad that 14 year olds havent, at the least, seen happy gilmore.
Happy Gilmore is almost twice as old as a 14 year old.
So who is he?
A former TV game show host, but a well liked one.
I know about Price is Right just didn’t remember the guys name.
The price is wrong, bitch!
pelespiritI always thought reddit just picked the demographic that sounded best to advertisers, how would anyone know for sure?
My guess is that Lemmy is a new platform. The fediverse is also new to most people (myself included) and that leads to people genuinely replying to posts instead of trolling around.
Lol there are many techniques used to sniff them out that are pretty reliable, you fooled noone with that approach.
I am absolutely a hip and cool 14 year old. I have no idea what you are talking about.
Early 30s woman, married without children, and in grad school.
Grimr0cMale, Late 20s

Sorry to disappoint, but I’m in that demographic as a man aged 30. 😂
GeekFTWMale, and turning 39 today!
Happy birthday! 🎂
Holodeck_MoriartyHappy birthday bro
I’m a dude that’s old enough to drink twice in the US.
purahnanon-binary (but in that age bracket 🙃)
hi!
I don’t think so. I promise not to look at your junk or investigate who you are/aren’t sleeping with.
I was negative for a bit there, was just wondering if I had the culture on this instance clocked wrong
Based on the memes I've been seeing, I think there's more queer than straight people in the fediverse
I was there when All Your Base meme was first birthed, 3000 years ago…
XeeleeI was there when Kraftwerk made songs about computers being in every home and it was science fiction.
Where were you when video killed the radio star?
I thought music videos were the coolest thing ever.
RoundcatI was at house, eating dorito
I was installing microwave ovens
Custom kitchen delivery
I was moving refrigerators
I was moving color TVs

I had an all your base t shirt in high school. 2 people got the joke lol
Are you looking for only people who access ActivityPub content via a Lemmy instance, or are other platforms allowed to respond?
Anyone.
Dude in his late 20s
TischkanteAge is not hardwired to things like posting behavior, personal views and affinity to technology. There are people younger than me who use their phone like my mom and write comments my grandpa would think are backwards thinking.
Totally, but I’ve seen several comments where people mention talking to their kids about topics, or other experiences that tend to lean a little older.
Woman in her 40s here.
The community here feels like it skews a little older than reddit, probably more male than female, and more tech savvy than average.
I imagine it’s a lot of the same demographic that were early adopters of reddit in the late 00s, early 10s.
Mid 30s white man techy checking in
TroyI’m in this comment! But closer to 40 haha
🌱 🐄🌱 Female and old enough to be an avid user of IRC, AOL chatrooms, Myspace, etc.
Then there are at least two of us!
SuperSoftAbbyThird one checking in!
mIRC life
I’m a fresh young 40yr old male. My joints.
Snap crackle pop joints slowly rise up.
Alien SurferI think the majority are 40+.
Except for memes communities. They are 12.
That’s kind of what i was thinking. Lot less rage here than on r/.
Guy who is old enough to use his first computer to get on a BBS to get this type of experience
