Nope, but I have had the thought that small-scale regional meet-ups could be fun.
On the one hand, smaller old-school forums do/did that sometimes and it can be really cool, if thinking in the spirit of the old internet.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I remember the infamous pictures from the Reddit meetup and good God, maybe not?

you can’t say that and then not link the pictures!
This is the one I was thinking of, but there are several interesting ones. I guess I’m being an asshole, maybe they’re all awesome. They certainly seem to be smiling and having fun, so I’m just really the dick here. But here’s the picture. Fuck, it is just…a lot. I don’t know. NSFW.
spoiler
lots of questions:
- Why are they flashing the camera
- What is the guy in the middle wearing
- When was this
- Why does only like, one guy have normal shoes
- Why is literally every guy there shirtless
I could go on.
well you have a point, it’s certainly weird. they are smiling, ok, but why would you do that which a lot of them are doing
That would require me to actually know someone.
I envy you. You’ve reached what I desire.
It is not it’s all it’s cracked up to be. Trust me.
I’m in a rural area, and the few people I have to see on a daily basis are still too many.
Wait until you fall deathly ill and need someones help.
It took 10 years to meet anyone that used Reddit. I assume it’s gonna take another 10 to meet anyone on this platform.
No, I’d be extremely suspicious of such person.
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.
no. It’s difficult to recommend it, “no it’s good trust me, there’s like none of the subs you like, and also you should go to the settings and block this list of words, also block these instances, and also do you know what a Tankie is?”
If I talk with people about Lemmy, I’ll usually replace “lemmy” with “this social media I use, kinda like Mastodon, but for Reddit instead of Twitter” as to avoid them joining lemmy.ml and thinking that that’s the entirety of Lemmy.
I’m fairly new to lemmy and have no idea what you’re talking about. Could you give a little breakdown?
A lot of people block political keywords and related communities, and most niche subs aren’t there
List of instances to block please and why ?
One person, a relatively techy friend. He uses my server, the username is @[email protected]
Hai
He has been summoned
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?
Well of course I know him. He’s me.
Let me stop you before you suggest a narwhal bacons at midnight equivalent for lemmy
YOU SHOULD INSTALL LINUX
no and i don’t think anyone here is real. every account is a russian psyop bot trying to make leftists appear insane and stupid
You were programmed to say that because I’m the only one that’s real.
Nice try bot, I’M the only real one here
I’m not real, but in a figment of your imagination type of way.
I am real, but a bot is situationally reposting my stuff from other platforms to make me appear active here.
But even for reddit I only know a person in real life that uses it. I tried to convert him, he said “there are too many Linux apologists” 🤷🏻♂️
See? Tankies aren’t a problem at all. What’re yall worried about?
I know more but they stuck with it for some reason. One friend may be on Lemmy too but I’m not giving them my username …
I know your user name now send me $1,000,000 or I’m going to tell your parents
“apologists” lol, the implication that Linux is nefarious or a tragedy or something
!YMMƎ⅃ ƎƧU I !YƎH
Sorry, my mirror image got hold of the phone. He’s not real, he doesn’t count.
Know him, I am him

Thats because they don’t talk about it.

A couple friends found out my reddit user name once after I made a post and sent one of them a picture from the post. A few minutes went by and I got a text “oh shit your on reddit ha ha”
I was like damn I fucked up! but then I realized I’m one of the few people that is exactly the same in real life
