25-35
Most user are in age b/w 30-50 I guess. I am 17 btw.
I think it varies greatly. The trans communities, for instance, seem to tread younger and I get the sense that many posters are teenagers. Tech communities, on the other hand, seem 30s-40s.
Younger than 30yo the technical knowledge declines rapidly, so it’s very unlikely for them to be here.
Mileage will vary. I have gotten a lot better when it comes to tech (mainly software) in the past 3 years, as someone who is only in the middle of his 20s.
I too am in my mid 20s and I generally have gotten more tech literate in the last couple years, though mostly hardware since software is the devil.
I personally view hardware as the devil, so we’re kinda opposites in that regard.
I’m 30, so naturally I assume everyone else is too
Pretty sure everyone in the world is either 30, 60 or a child.
28 and same. A lot more millennial energy here than Gen z. Honestly Lemmy feels like 2012 reddit to me so I assume it’s mostly the same age group as me and a bit older. 🤷
I’m 31. From what I’ve seen, a large portion are around this age. I think there’s very few young people.
I think of 31 as pretty young.
Fair. I guess children would be a better word, although I also think it’s low on 18-25 at least too.
not completely correct! 19
31, assume the same
I’m 18 if that’s any help 🙃
Ayy, me 2
Around 9 years old. Could be some 11 year olds in there.
I’m only 9 because thats when I died.
Based on this poll with 599 participants from the german [email protected] community, most of us are somewhere between 20 and 40 years old.
This is only a small fraction of lemmy users, maybe it just represents the age range of german meme enjoyers on lemmy, but I don’t know of any other poll with a sample size this big.
Yeah, prolly shifts older by 1 or 2 demographics, is my guess.
Also see stats from:
Which are pretty similar.
Two 13-15 year old users
Does Lemmy even have a minimum age or TOS?
Nope, Lemmy is just the software after all. It would be up to the individual instances to set up some kind of TOS or age verification.
Yea, Like lemm.ee have 16 years.
Hopefully older and more mature than Reddit users.
I mean an average teen aint gonna find Lemmy or even like using Fediverse stuff, they mostly stick to mainstream social media. Sign up applications probably further weeds them out. Yay no pesky kids.
(I don’t hate younger people, I just find that many of them tend to be immature and use the anonymity of the internet to post edgy opinions like racism)
Hello, I am your average Teen(17).
I find this being an ageist take. Not everyone is immature.
Also, speaking as someone who’s entered his 50th year, shitposting in alternative venues is not really a sign of maturity.
“Fart you, fart him, fart all y’all.”
What in the skibidi rizzless ohio did y’all do to my upvotes?
“Well well, skibidi to you”
I mean an average teen aint gonna find Lemmy or even like using Fediverse stuff
So does this make me an above average or below average teen?
i’d like to know too
Yesn’t
Depends if you are 19 or 119?
(119 is technically a “teen” ager? no?)
younger than on Mastodon (where it’s overwhelmingly 40+)
I have a 5 digit slashdot id.
As a serious answer, I’d guess Lemmy skews younger. Too many idealists here to think the average user base has the wisdom that comes from experience.
Sorry, younglings. You’ll know when you get older: the long view clearly demonstrates optimism is a lie. History is a corkscrew. Progress is made, but only through endless repetitions of past mistakes.
“Any man under 30 who is not a liberal has no heart, and any man over thirty who is not a conservative has no brains.”
Things fascists say.
That’s a limerick conservative parents tell themselves to feel better about their rebellious kids.
And not what I’m talking about at all.
Honestly, it had more validity behind it in the '80s. When you were just starting out your career you didn’t have a house yet you didn’t have any wealth amassed, The ideals of the left really shown through. But once you got older and started having some money, the fiscal Republican ticket sold you on tax cuts and provided boosts to help certain investment opportunities. It was still mostly just bullshit to make themselves rich but there was some financial opportunity there. It’s pretty much long gone for middle-class advantage anymore though.
I think mostly 30s and 40s based on the memes
I posted a thing from 8 bit theater and it got a lot of upvoted. Definitely old people.
You’re not old unless you have knee pain.
How them knees feeling, Lemmy?
One of mine kind of sucks.
I stacked it on the kerb coming back from the shop the other day and both my knees are now bruised to fuck and have started creaking when I go to stand up. It’s taken my all not to refer to the incident as my having ‘had a fall’ too, for some reason.
I was hoping to at least get past my (current) mid thirties before the knee pain and geriatric language started creeping in.
Is this just our generation’s facebook? Damnit.
Well… at least we know how to use the internet i guess.
More like the original demographic of Facebook, before it went mainstream
And digg. And reddit. And myspace.
There’s at least one 57 year old.
Two.
Three.
Do we have to be 57? I just wanted to be part of a counting train.
I’m 34, maybe if you’re 23 and you climb on my shoulders
It’s probably wiser if you climb on the 23 year old’s shoulders instead. They don’t need ibuprofen for back pain yet
But there’s the falling part…
74-89
