I don't want to be specific but I'm on the younger side of college age
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.
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.
39 here, exact same backstory.
Wow. Same for me. Digg just before the implosion, then reddit for 10ish years then here. 52.
Did you have to peg me that hard before we've even met
It's my usual ice breaker.
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.
There have been several polls. We're older and more female than you think.
How female are you?
I've been feeling more female ever since I got here, but maybe there's no correlation
I would estimate
15% <25
60% 25-40
25% 40+
Y'all be showing your age sometimes 😅
I'm old as fuck. I definitely show my age as often as possible.
I showed my age in public and now I'm on a list... I keep getting AARP mailers.
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
I’m 30, so naturally I assume everyone else is too
28 and same. A lot more millennial energy here than Gen z. Honestly Lemmy feels like 2012 reddit to me so I assume it's mostly the same age group as me and a bit older. 🤷
I'm 31. From what I've seen, a large portion are around this age. I think there's very few young people.
0-100 I believe
There's at least one 57 year old.
Two.
Three.
Do we have to be 57? I just wanted to be part of a counting train.
I'm 34, maybe if you're 23 and you climb on my shoulders
It's probably wiser if you climb on the 23 year old's shoulders instead. They don't need ibuprofen for back pain yet
85% neckbeards
Thanks, I almost forgot to shave 15% of my neck today!
I think mostly 30s and 40s based on the memes
I posted a thing from 8 bit theater and it got a lot of upvoted. Definitely old people.
Is this just our generation's facebook? Damnit.
Well... at least we know how to use the internet i guess.
More like the original demographic of Facebook, before it went mainstream
I'm 19!
Hi 19 I'm dad.
How..?
Not an expert but I believe it's because they were born 19 years ago
Oh. Looks like I got whoooshed
It's ok. It is, in my opinion, one of the lamest memes on the internet.
As a serious answer, I’d guess Lemmy skews younger. Too many idealists here to think the average user base has the wisdom that comes from experience.
Sorry, younglings. You’ll know when you get older: the long view clearly demonstrates optimism is a lie. History is a corkscrew. Progress is made, but only through endless repetitions of past mistakes.
I have no idea but I imagine most should be younger than I am (50+)
Seems like a young crowd to me based on the often naive and idealistic post replies. OTOH, I'm very often surprised that so many seem my age (50s).
Younger than 30yo the technical knowledge declines rapidly, so it's very unlikely for them to be here.
younger than on Mastodon (where it’s overwhelmingly 40+)
18 - 30
