not that I’m aware. my wife made an account somewhere but doesn’t use it
Yes my sibling uses Lemmy. It was them that prompted me to join.
Yes I have been a Lemmy advocate since I joined, but I have only ever gotten one person to use Lemmy. I told one of my daughters friends mom about Lemmy. She does not allow her daughter to use social media. Except for Lemmy.
So that is it. My one conversion. I have kind of given up on trying to convert people. I still love Lemmy and the Fediverse, but the year of Lemmy mainstream has yet to come.
Yes. I shared a Star Trek meme with a coworker and they asked me where I got it. I told them about Lemmy and Tenforward and another coworker chimed in with “where every Vulcan knows your name”
I do not know and will never try to find out.
It’s easy to find other Lemmy users IRL. Show up to any Linux meet up, and roughly 5-10% seem to use Lemmy.
how do you find Linux meetups?
I happen to live close to a couple of universities and have been friends with some of the CS faculty for a number of years. I generally just tag along with them.
Bold of you to assume that I know anybody in real life.
Not enough grimdank to keep them
No, I’d be extremely suspicious of such person.
I don’t know anyone besides myself that even uses social media IRL.
Yes, myself. That’s it though
Guy from work posted a Lemmy meme link.
No. I recommended Lemmy to my friends, and they were all driven away by bad moderation, tankies, or transphobia within a day. They think I’m mad for using this site and surrounding myself with the people here.
I recommend it two the two friends I know that use reddit. The one didn’t even join because there’s no active sport communities. And the other left after about 3 months a little less.
Yea I recommended it to a friend and the reason they didn’t stay was the lack of niche communities. And I get that. You have to have very specific requirements to thrive here
As long as it’s small there is no interest in meddling and control by the regime.
Afte witnessing the evolution of so-called ‘moderation’ and the inherent bias it entails I can say I prefer free speech with all the insults and whatever comes with it over the shithole that Reddit has become.
Deleted commments, banned or ghostbanned for the slightest and bots bots bots.Nope
