To me, it seems like most of Lemmy consists of users who are older millennials (born at some point in the 80s), male, and about 50/50 split between living in North America or the EU.

Do you fit this demographic?

Early 30s /F / North America

I'm close to the right demographic, but for the missing appendage.

I identify as older millennials (born at some point in the 80s), male, and about 50/50 split between living in North America or the EU.

I'm not but that's how I identify.

I am surprised that this post received so many genuine answers.

40 / M / Canada

I have the same impression as you do but looking at the early answers, looks like Europe is a bit younger. I hope we are wrong, I'd rather have a very widespread demography to have more diverse opinions.

Close, but not quite. One thing I notice a lot around here (Lemmy/fediverse) that suggests many users are elder millennials or older, is the frequent use of 2 spaces after a period. I don't really notice as much of that in other online communities.
