TodayWhats the lemmy demographic?
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.

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.
