I wouldn’t know because I’ve never mentioned it to anyone.

Me and my friend both switched from Reddit at the same time when the apps died.

Sadly no. Ive recommended the fediverse to a couple dudes, one of them is too much of a normie to care (i will lecture him again soon xD) and the other doesnt like the fediverse😐 chose bsky instead of mastodon… (oh and a third guy just said fuck u and fuck all this stuff alltogether, he was fed up with me complaining ab big tech lmaooo at least he uses matrix to chat w me now)

Not yet, but it seems to be growing.

I don’t even know anyone that uses Reddit 🫠

That would require me to actually know someone.

I know one guy, but I know him from a IRC (now Matric) channel, but we are offline friends too and visited each other often.

Know him, I am him

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” 🤷🏻‍♂️

That would imply that they know it even exists

I’m not sure I know anyone in real life

My spouse. But that’s it.

Let me stop you before you suggest a narwhal bacons at midnight equivalent for lemmy

Nah. My brother, wife, my two best friends and one co-worker are the only ones who even know it exists, and that’s because they know I use it as an alternative to reddit since the API fiasco. It’s honestly pretty obscure, but I like it that way. I’d love to see larger niche communities, especially since r/stalker was one of the only places I could actively talk about my favorite game series, but Lemmy has been a far better experience overall.

There’s no way to know
