More often than not when I mention Lemmy to someone, it's after they've told me about something they saw on reddit and their reply is invariably, "what the fuck is Lemmy?"

"Lemmy is reddit methadone." Is my go-to answer.

I sent someone a screenshot and they asked what wefwef was because it showed the name in the top left of the screen shot as like a ‘go back to your last app’ link. Turned into a short painful discussion that I was happy to be over. Sometimes I think people are purposefully obtuse though and it reminded me why I don’t talk about technology with most everybody I know IRL.
