MODERATORS
There's at least one 57 year old.
18 - 30
i think we should poll in it
younger than on Mastodon (where it’s overwhelmingly 40+)
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.
Don’t forget /.
I stayed around that one for way, way too long.
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:
- Lemmy.nz - https://lemmy.nz/post/12001861
- Lemmy.ca - https://lemmy.ca/post/15125231
Which are pretty similar.
Yeah, prolly shifts older by 1 or 2 demographics, is my guess.
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.
I would estimate
15% <25
60% 25-40
25% 40+
Y'all be showing your age sometimes 😅
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
Get off my lawn
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.
Awww man, I'm 2 years away from a bracket change.... My knees hurt more now.
My steam account is nearly 20, lol
Had the same email address for 27 years...
Solid, and still your main? My Hotmail would be similar age, but it's hardly used these days
~13-50
I have no idea but I imagine most should be younger than I am (50+)
I'm 18 if that's any help 🙃
Not sure, I'm mid thirties though
