Most user are in age b/w 30-50 I guess. I am 17 btw.
My steam account is nearly 20, lol
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
Based on this poll with 599 participants from the german [email protected] 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.
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.
39 here, exact same backstory.
Wow. Same for me. Digg just before the implosion, then reddit for 10ish years then here. 52.
Did you have to peg me that hard before we’ve even met
It’s my usual ice breaker.
Seems like a young crowd to me based on the often naive and idealistic post replies. OTOH, I’m very often surprised that so many seem my age (50s).
There’s at least one 57 year old.
Two.
Three.
Do we have to be 57? I just wanted to be part of a counting train.
I’m 34, maybe if you’re 23 and you climb on my shoulders
It’s probably wiser if you climb on the 23 year old’s shoulders instead. They don’t need ibuprofen for back pain yet
But there’s the falling part…
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.
I have a 5 digit slashdot id.
Younger than 30yo the technical knowledge declines rapidly, so it’s very unlikely for them to be here.
Mileage will vary. I have gotten a lot better when it comes to tech (mainly software) in the past 3 years, as someone who is only in the middle of his 20s.
I think mostly 30s and 40s based on the memes
I posted a thing from 8 bit theater and it got a lot of upvoted. Definitely old people.
Is this just our generation’s facebook? Damnit.
Well… at least we know how to use the internet i guess.
More like the original demographic of Facebook, before it went mainstream
And digg. And reddit. And myspace.
I’m 19!
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.
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.
I would estimate
15% <25
60% 25-40
25% 40+
Y’all be showing your age sometimes 😅
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.

Hello, I am your average Teen(17).
I find this being an ageist take. Not everyone is immature.
“Fart you, fart him, fart all y’all.”
What in the skibidi rizzless ohio did y’all do to my upvotes?
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?
Depends if you are 19 or 119?
(119 is technically a “teen” ager? no?)
i think we should poll in it
A/s/l (that’s much easier to type on a computer keyboard than a phone)
