I didn't know a single redditor either, some ppl who had seen my name (my dumbass doxed my full unique name as my username when I was a kid and I didnt change it forever) irl had mentioned it to me, but they didn't use it past google, they weren't posting, commenting, or signing up

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Not really, but I found out about lemmy and the Fediverse one week ago. I already told about it to 2 people, maybe if you ask me again in a couple of weeks the answer may be different
I know for certain I am the only Lemmy user within a 300km radius
idk a redditor, let alone a lemming
My immediate meat-space circles are aware of it and have stopped asking me WTH is wrong with my meme links in the group chats.
I do not believe anyone else has an account.
Me and my friend both switched from Reddit at the same time when the apps died.
My wife. Hey wait a second, that lamp looks odd....
My spouse. But that's it.
Not enough grimdank to keep them
No
Lemmy, no. Reddit, no. Fediverse: there are a few people (less than a dozen) that I have met IRL ("know" may be a strong word) and also have a more or less strong presence in the fediverse, primarily Mastodon.
Nope
I've only actively converted one person so far, but there is one other person whom I suspect of using lemmy but have not confirmed.
Why would we? Even Reddit had a secret salute when it was starting, because it was growing slowly. Something social exploding is not the norm, but the result of aggressive marketing, which Lemmy instances can’t afford, and have no need to pay for.
no
I look in the mirror every morning and yell at that fucking idiot who uses Lemmy. It's my favorite time of the day. :)
I wouldn't be surprised to find a friend, a cousin, and a friend's husband- just because they're all 3 smart, techish, liberal, and news aware.
I don't know any other people that use it, but other people know I use it 😄
What's real life ?
Only the other bots in the farm I inhabit.
Absolutely no one
