I’m 19!
Hi 19 I’m dad.
I’m also 19
Wow 👌 👏
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’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.Don’t forget /.
I stayed around that one for way, way too long.
I’m 27, and came here after the reddit blackout. Digg was before my time on the Internet. What was it like?
39 here, exact same backstory.
Wow. Same for me. Digg just before the implosion, then reddit for 10ish years then here. 52.
Similar age here.
Not into social media and Reddit now sucks.
That’s a great point, we’ve been around the block so we’re less receptive to enshittification bullshit
Did you have to peg me that hard before we’ve even met
It’s my usual ice breaker.
Not sure, I’m mid thirties though
This few years are the largest single age years in us population. I think 34 is peak. In US at least.
I’m 18 if that’s any help 🙃
Ayy, me 2
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.
Yeah, prolly shifts older by 1 or 2 demographics, is my guess.
Two 13-15 year old users
Does Lemmy even have a minimum age or TOS?
Nope, Lemmy is just the software after all. It would be up to the individual instances to set up some kind of TOS or age verification.
Yea, Like lemm.ee have 16 years.
I have no idea but I imagine most should be younger than I am (50+)
My steam account is nearly 20, lol
My first browser was GOPHER.
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
I would estimate
15% <25
65% 25-40
20% 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
Awww man, I’m 2 years away from a bracket change… My knees hurt more now.
Get off my lawn
Our 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.
The aarps mailers are great once this FEMA camps get going
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.
“Any man under 30 who is not a liberal has no heart, and any man over thirty who is not a conservative has no brains.”
That’s a limerick conservative parents tell themselves to feel better about their rebellious kids.
And not what I’m talking about at all.
Honestly, it had more validity behind it in the '80s. When you were just starting out your career you didn’t have a house yet you didn’t have any wealth amassed, The ideals of the left really shown through. But once you got older and started having some money, the fiscal Republican ticket sold you on tax cuts and provided boosts to help certain investment opportunities. It was still mostly just bullshit to make themselves rich but there was some financial opportunity there. It’s pretty much long gone for middle-class advantage anymore though.
Things fascists say.
younger than on Mastodon (where it’s overwhelmingly 40+)

I find this being an ageist take. Not everyone is immature.
Also, speaking as someone who’s entered his 50th year, shitposting in alternative venues is not really a sign of maturity.

Hello, I am your average Teen(17).
I mean an average teen aint gonna find Lemmy or even like using Fediverse stuff
So does this make me an above average or below average teen?
i’d like to know too
Yesn’t

I don’t want to be specific but I’m on the younger side of college age
~13-50
25-35
I think it varies greatly. The trans communities, for instance, seem to tread younger and I get the sense that many posters are teenagers. Tech communities, on the other hand, seem 30s-40s.
