To me, it seems like most of Lemmy consists of users who are older millennials (born at some point in the 80s), male, and about 50/50 split between living in North America or the EU.
Do you fit this demographic?
Early 90s, male, North America
25 / F / Germany
I feel like there’s a really good amount of Europeans around, but I might just imagine that because I browse new at the times when Europeans would be awake haha
I think it’s mostly because European are more aware of privacy, open source and such. I see that trend here and in many open source projects, and I browse on US times.
I’ll start: 39/M/US, so yeah, I fit the demographic.
38 / M / Canada/Spain
So I am a male, born in the eighties, split about 75/25 NA/EU.
Do I fit the demographic? You misunderstand…
I AM the demographic.
13 / M / Slovenia
I somewhat fit this demographic, but my age is not at all comparable to the average Lemmy user.
yo you got your own instance running at 13? that’s so rad
i’m a dev more than twice your age and i couldn’t be bothered to read up on it lmao
Thank you for noticing :)
I really love messing around with sysadmin stuff and Linux. I also have a blog page in case you’d like to have a read, but I’m currently in the process of rewriting it in Svelte instead of pure HTML and CSS (disgusting, I know), so I haven’t had the chance to write more posts.
Keep it up, don’t lose that curiosity!
Lol, you inspire me dude
You’ll be going places.
45 / male/ Montreal
18 / M / Slovakia
36 / M / Germany
Pretty much spot on.
40 / M / Canada
I have the same impression as you do but looking at the early answers, looks like Europe is a bit younger. I hope we are wrong, I’d rather have a very widespread demography to have more diverse opinions.
16 / M / Ireland
I always feel like a small child in the lemmy user base haha
13 here, I feel like a baby in the Lemmy userbase
You both are
They’re a lot younger than me too… but I was on the Internet, including in some mostly-adult communities, at 16 too (not so much at 13). Many of my formative experiences took place there and so I see absolutely nothing wrong with what they’re doing.
I am female, so I guess I don’t. As for my age and location, that’s classified

I’m wondering what exactly people raising privacy concerns are worried about?
Even if I tell you my ASL, what can you do with that info?
I’m usually very privacy aware.
The big tech firms already have the information, it can also likely be brought on the dark web.
44/M/NZ BTW. Even if I tell you which small town I’m from, it doesn’t get you to my doorstep.
Be careful giving away personal information on Lemmy. It’s wildly difficult to ensure stuff is deleted or removed in the Fediverse across multiple servers.
It’s better to provide aggregated data (South East Asia instead of saying Thailand)
36 / M / Canada. I fit
