I'm 19!
How..?
Not an expert but I believe it's because they were born 19 years ago
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.
Also see stats from:
- Lemmy.nz - https://lemmy.nz/post/12001861
- Lemmy.ca - https://lemmy.ca/post/15125231
Which are pretty similar.
Yeah, prolly shifts older by 1 or 2 demographics, is my guess.
I'd say we probably skew more towards 30s-40s a lot of us are transplants from other sites and have been around the block a few times - there are certainly younger folks too, but they had to somehow trip over fediverse tech through a fluke.
Yep, 37 here.
I found Digg just before the Exodus and hung around Reddit for a decade or so then split during the Reddit blackout.
Don’t forget /.
I stayed around that one for way, way too long.
Did you have to peg me that hard before we've even met
~13-50
I would estimate
15% <25
60% 25-40
25% 40+
Y'all be showing your age sometimes 😅
Get off my lawn
I'm old as fuck. I definitely show my age as often as possible.
I showed my age in public and now I'm on a list... I keep getting AARP mailers.
Awww man, I'm 2 years away from a bracket change.... My knees hurt more now.
My steam account is nearly 20, lol
Had the same email address for 27 years...
I'm 18 if that's any help 🙃
I have no idea but I imagine most should be younger than I am (50+)
Not sure, I'm mid thirties though
