A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

Not enough grimdank to keep them
My immediate meat-space circles are aware of it and have stopped asking me WTH is wrong with my meme links in the group chats.
I do not believe anyone else has an account.
One person, a relatively techy friend. He uses my server, the username is @[email protected]
Hai
He has been summoned
idk a redditor, let alone a lemming
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
I didn't know a single redditor either, some ppl who had seen my name (my dumbass doxed my full unique name as my username when I was a kid and I didnt change it forever) irl had mentioned it to me, but they didn't use it past google, they weren't posting, commenting, or signing up

My spouse. But that's it.
My wife. Hey wait a second, that lamp looks odd....
Me and my friend both switched from Reddit at the same time when the apps died.
nope, I'm the only one I know irl that uses any type of the fediverse
Nope
Yep. Friend browses slrpnk.net regularly.
I've only actively converted one person so far, but there is one other person whom I suspect of using lemmy but have not confirmed.
I don't know any other people that use it, but other people know I use it 😄
I look in the mirror every morning and yell at that fucking idiot who uses Lemmy. It's my favorite time of the day. :)
What's real life ?
I wouldn't be surprised to find a friend, a cousin, and a friend's husband- just because they're all 3 smart, techish, liberal, and news aware.
Yes actually, sadly it was just a one time talk and I never spoke to him again.
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.
