My own spouse, but...as the statisticians would say, that is not really two independent samples.

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 17 points 23 hours ago

Well of course I know him. He's me.

If they do they probably don't talk about it, tbh.

No. Thank God.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

Nobody is real here, man

[–] Theatomictruth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 19 hours ago

No. I happened across somebody on Lemmy from the same sub 100k city as me though.

I haven’t talked about it with my social circles but I would be surprised if nobody I know is on here.

What's the lemmy version of "the narwhal bacons at midnight"?

I met up with some guys (and gals) from !ich_iel@feddit.org at the Chaos Communication Congress in December. They also took a group photo together that I unfortunately missed.

Some people in my local Hackerspace also use Lemmy. One of them was Admin on feddit.de before it shut down.

If you have a Hackerspace where you live, there is a good chance that some people there use Lemmy too.

edit: Hacker as in Hacker Culture or in the sense of the German Wikipedia Entry for Hacker and not in the sense of the Security Hacker

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Wait, someone knew the admin the whole time? I thought they went missing, but I also didn’t pay super close attention. I hope all is well with them.

[–] sumguyonline@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Why yes I do know him, he's me.

[–] harsh3466@lemmy.ml 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't this all a simulation anyway???

Seriously though, I do know several people IRL that are Lemmy users.

I actually know one person IRL that uses Lemmy. We both found it independently of one another.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 19 hours ago

I know for certain I am the only Lemmy user within a 300km radius

[–] Winterfrost@lemm.ee 5 points 22 hours ago

What is real?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

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.

[–] Stowaway@midwest.social 5 points 22 hours ago

Several lemmings surprisingly.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

My brother.

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 3 points 21 hours ago

Why would we? Even Reddit had a secret salute when it was starting, because it was growing slowly. Something social exploding is not the norm, but the result of aggressive marketing, which Lemmy instances can’t afford, and have no need to pay for.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 4 points 22 hours ago

My wife. Hey wait a second, that lamp looks odd....

[–] oakward@feddit.org 4 points 22 hours ago

Not really, but I found out about lemmy and the Fediverse one week ago. I already told about it to 2 people, maybe if you ask me again in a couple of weeks the answer may be different
