I don’t know any Lemmy users IRL. I have nudged my friends towards it. My partner has asked me to post things a few times. Just curious.

Edit: running total including the commenter: 31.5 people

    Seen with my own eyeballs?

    But I’m pretty sure they post to Mastadon and it is visible here on Lemmy. Or maybe they have accounts on Lemmy.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Yeah that’s certainly a weakness of signing up for the fediverse (Lemmy, mastodon, etc).

    I have at least 3 friends IRL that are on Lemmy. One of them I got to join, and two are friends I met doing mutual aid and other organizing projects. Later found out they’re on here.

      You are the only person so far that knows someone else’s on Lemmy and you aren’t reason they joined or vis-versa

      Woah very cool. Excuse my ignorance but is “mutual aid” a term for helping out your neighbor? Which is something people have always done but it often sounds like when people use the term “mutual aid” it is a bit more organized. Does that ring true for you?

        Yeah, that’s pretty much it. “Mutual aid” is meant to be distinct from “charity” which has a different kind of implication. Mutual aid is more about “we help each other”. Charity can absolutely be organized, but tends to be more “structured” than mutual aid efforts.

    There seems to be 3 forum platforms.

    1. Lemmy
    2. Reddit
    3. Gab

    I hear about reddit on the radio and people talk about reddit. No one talks about the other two.

    So far I don’t think I’ve met anyone

    PS. According to the subscribers of the Greek community, there are probably less than 70 Greeks online on lemmy (and probably some of them live abroad), so it’s probably rather rare to find someone who uses it.

    0.5. One friend found my lemmy account when scouring the internet for TTRPG maps. I think that halfway counts, even if he doesn’t have an account of his own.
