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: 32.5 people
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.
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
None, as far as I know.
Oh God I would never admit this to anyone IRL
Haha, I stop short of giving them my username
no one uses lemmy in my country.
Zero. However I would be interested in seeing anyone in real life. I feel like it would go do in Lemmy history.
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.
-4
You know 4 people that left Lemmy?
no they’re just negative people

None. Although I’ve never asked
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.
Just one
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.
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
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.
I’ve never met anyone in person who’s even heard of Lemmy. Well, at least whenever it’s brought up 😅
None
