Big fat goose egg 0. A lot of people I talk to don't even know what Reddit is, really.

I know one.
I know one who I stumble upon once in a while in the comments, we say hi to each other
Zero. However I would be interested in seeing anyone in real life. I feel like it would go do in Lemmy history.
Two. The friend who sent me here and a friend I sent here.
My partner was on it for like a minute but I don't think they use it anymore. Certainly not as much as I do.
Buddy, I don't even know myself.
None, as far as I know.
0 and I hope I never meet any of you.
None. Although I've never asked
I've never met anyone in person who's even heard of Lemmy. Well, at least whenever it's brought up π
Any time Iβve brought it up everybody glazes over the first time I say the words βinstanceβ or βfederated.β Iβve tried the email analogy, but they lose interest immediately.
Magic box is magic. Anything else hurts most people's brains.
In a way, it's impressive we got this far technologically before we started losing the plot, considering we evolved for the pointy-sticks-and-fire level.
Try 'non corporate reddit that isn't full of bots, and you can block assholes.'
Call them "communities", not "instances", that might work better
This made me think about my struggles with trying to learn moves in fighting games.
The tutorial canβt tell me the move with actual button combinations. No. Instead I have to read it as punch + kick + grab first. And because Iβm a frigginβ noob, I have to try to interpret what buttons those actions are.
How is this relevant? It really isnβt, the more I think about it. Bad comparison. Ah well. At least you know how sad I am at fighting games now.

None
I know myself.
Or do I?

Trick question. I'm the only real user on the internet. Nice try.
Everyone else is an agent in this honeypot
Dead internet fact
That's what the bot would say.
Lemmy? I canβt even get them off the goddamned Facebook.
Ha, I have a few of those myself
None, and that's probably a good thing. And also really not unexpected given how small the platform is.
Oh God I would never admit this to anyone IRL
Haha, I stop short of giving them my username
Zero. I know a couple of you nerds live in Philly and that terrifies me. I also know the reverse is true. This is the game we have agreed too.
Oh shoot, I'm not so far from you. I live more south of Allentown, but work closer to Philadelphia.

None. Even trying to suggest Mastodon, still no luck which I just stopped as I'm just exhausted of hearing the answer "no".
2 in my local area. It's how I found out about it. We have been slowly growing the community.
Heck yeah!
0, and happy to keep it that way.
Zero. I think one lives near me based on some posts they made (as in near the same major city, could still be hours away). Another mentioned going to the same convention I go to every year but it's a massive convention that brings in people from all over the world. The two friends I have that used RIF is fun for Reddit back in the day switched to the official app instead of trying alternatives.
None. I normally don't give out my social media to people IRL, so there's no way they'd know I'm on Lemmy not I know they're on here either.
I tell many people about it, probably none have signed up but it's not my business to know their username if they have. Might be fun to meet some of you.
I am morbidly curious what the average Lemming is like.
I have one friend that suggested him to use it, he tried it, he doesn't use it a lot, does it count?

No. No one else, which is great.
No. No one else, which is too bad.
