0-100 I believe

[-] Today@lemmy.world 11 points 1 hour ago

There have been several polls. We're older and more female than you think.

[-] fsr1967@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

There's at least one 57 year old.

i think we should poll in it

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 57 points 6 hours ago

I'd say we probably skew more towards 30s-40s a lot of us are transplants from other sites and have been around the block a few times - there are certainly younger folks too, but they had to somehow trip over fediverse tech through a fluke.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago

Yep, 37 here.
I found Digg just before the Exodus and hung around Reddit for a decade or so then split during the Reddit blackout.

[-] hakase@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

39 here, exact same backstory.

[-] AnotherMadHatter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Wow. Same for me. Digg just before the implosion, then reddit for 10ish years then here. 52.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

Did you have to peg me that hard before we've even met

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 hours ago

It's my usual ice breaker.

[-] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 39 points 6 hours ago

Based on this poll with 599 participants from the german !ich_iel@feddit.org community, most of us are somewhere between 20 and 40 years old.

This is only a small fraction of lemmy users, maybe it just represents the age range of german meme enjoyers on lemmy, but I don't know of any other poll with a sample size this big.

Also see stats from:

Which are pretty similar.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, prolly shifts older by 1 or 2 demographics, is my guess.

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 27 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

I would estimate

15% <25

60% 25-40

25% 40+

Y'all be showing your age sometimes πŸ˜…

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

I'd agree with your breakdown. I'm early 40s and I feel like most people here are give or take 10 years of me

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

Get off my lawn

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago

I'm old as fuck. I definitely show my age as often as possible.

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

I showed my age in public and now I'm on a list... I keep getting AARP mailers.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 5 hours ago

Awww man, I'm 2 years away from a bracket change.... My knees hurt more now.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 5 points 4 hours ago

younger than on Mastodon (where it’s overwhelmingly 40+)

[-] mitexleo@buddyverse.one 10 points 5 hours ago
[-] cmoney@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Hi 19 I'm dad.

[-] lnxtx@feddit.nl 7 points 4 hours ago
[-] Masta_Chief@lemmy.world 19 points 3 hours ago

Not an expert but I believe it's because they were born 19 years ago

[-] lnxtx@feddit.nl 8 points 3 hours ago
[-] Masta_Chief@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Oh. Looks like I got whoooshed

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

It's ok. It is, in my opinion, one of the lamest memes on the internet.

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 12 points 6 hours ago

My steam account is nearly 20, lol

[-] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Had the same email address for 27 years...

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

Solid, and still your main? My Hotmail would be similar age, but it's hardly used these days

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 4 hours ago
[-] Libb@jlai.lu 11 points 6 hours ago

I have no idea but I imagine most should be younger than I am (50+)

[-] mayhair@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 6 hours ago

I'm 18 if that's any help πŸ™ƒ

[-] ofk12@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

Not sure, I'm mid thirties though

Hopefully older and more mature than Reddit users.

I mean an average teen aint gonna find Lemmy or even like using Fediverse stuff, they mostly stick to mainstream social media. Sign up applications probably further weeds them out. Yay no pesky kids.

(I don't hate younger people, I just find that many of them tend to be immature and use the anonymity of the internet to post edgy opinions like racism)

[-] sleen@lemmy.zip 11 points 6 hours ago

I find this being an ageist take. Not everyone is immature.
