I met up with some guys (and gals) from [email protected] at the Chaos Communication Congress in December. They also took a group photo together that I unfortunately missed.

Some people in my local Hackerspace also use Lemmy. One of them was Admin on feddit.de before it shut down.

If you have a Hackerspace where you live, there is a good chance that some people there use Lemmy too.

edit: Hacker as in Hacker Culture or in the sense of the German Wikipedia Entry for Hacker and not in the sense of the Security Hacker

Wait, someone knew the admin the whole time? I thought they went missing, but I also didn’t pay super close attention. I hope all is well with them.

not that I'm aware. my wife made an account somewhere but doesn't use it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Why yes I do know him, he's me.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Isn't this all a simulation anyway???

Seriously though, I do know several people IRL that are Lemmy users.

No. I happened across somebody on Lemmy from the same sub 100k city as me though.

I haven’t talked about it with my social circles but I would be surprised if nobody I know is on here.

[–] transientpunk 5 points 1 day ago

I actually know one person IRL that uses Lemmy. We both found it independently of one another.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I know for certain I am the only Lemmy user within a 300km radius

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

What is real?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Everyone I know in real life only uses Facebook...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Several lemmings surprisingly.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

My brother.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

My wife. Hey wait a second, that lamp looks odd....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

idk a redditor, let alone a lemming
