Yes I have been a Lemmy advocate since I joined, but I have only ever gotten one person to use Lemmy. I told one of my daughters friends mom about Lemmy. She does not allow her daughter to use social media. Except for Lemmy.
So that is it. My one conversion. I have kind of given up on trying to convert people. I still love Lemmy and the Fediverse, but the year of Lemmy mainstream has yet to come.
I do not know and will never try to find out.
Yes. I shared a Star Trek meme with a coworker and they asked me where I got it. I told them about Lemmy and Tenforward and another coworker chimed in with “where every Vulcan knows your name”
It’s easy to find other Lemmy users IRL. Show up to any Linux meet up, and roughly 5-10% seem to use Lemmy.
Bold of you to assume that I know anybody in real life.
No, I’d be extremely suspicious of such person.
I don’t know anyone besides myself that even uses social media IRL.
Not enough grimdank to keep them
Guy from work posted a Lemmy meme link.
Yes, myself. That’s it though
Other way around, I know people in rl through lemmy.
It took 10 years to meet anyone that used Reddit. I assume it’s gonna take another 10 to meet anyone on this platform.
God, I hope not.
I do. But despite my best efforts at explaining and advertising this platform, none of my friends seem to care 🥲.
That’s crazy. How are they keeping up with news about Trump and Musk then?
Beat me to it. This was the first thing that came to my mind, too.
No. Even when I look in the mirror, I deny it.
