To me, it seems like most of Lemmy consists of users who are older millennials (born at some point in the 80s), male, and about 50/50 split between living in North America or the EU.
Do you fit this demographic?
Too old to understand why you’re asking about American Sign Language

90s, non-binary and south america.
36 / M / Germany
Pretty much spot on.
16 / M / Ireland
I always feel like a small child in the lemmy user base haha
13 here, I feel like a baby in the Lemmy userbase
You both are
They’re a lot younger than me too… but I was on the Internet, including in some mostly-adult communities, at 16 too (not so much at 13). Many of my formative experiences took place there and so I see absolutely nothing wrong with what they’re doing.
18 / M / Slovakia
I’ll start: 39/M/US, so yeah, I fit the demographic.
25 / F / Germany
I feel like there’s a really good amount of Europeans around, but I might just imagine that because I browse new at the times when Europeans would be awake haha
Male, 90s, South Asia.
Ha I thought for a second your age was in the 90’s, but then I considered it more likely that you were born in the 1990’s, right?
Close, but not quite. One thing I notice a lot around here (Lemmy/fediverse) that suggests many users are elder millennials or older, is the frequent use of 2 spaces after a period. I don’t really notice as much of that in other online communities.
Put in the legwork to find me Mr alphabet soup man. I know you can do it, you’re just being lazy.
I am surprised that this post received so many genuine answers.
13 / M / Slovenia
I somewhat fit this demographic, but my age is not at all comparable to the average Lemmy user.
yo you got your own instance running at 13? that’s so rad
i’m a dev more than twice your age and i couldn’t be bothered to read up on it lmao
Thank you for noticing :)
I really love messing around with sysadmin stuff and Linux. I also have a blog page in case you’d like to have a read, but I’m currently in the process of rewriting it in Svelte instead of pure HTML and CSS (disgusting, I know), so I haven’t had the chance to write more posts.
Lol, you inspire me dude
You’ll be going places.
Keep it up, don’t lose that curiosity!
Be careful giving away personal information on Lemmy. It’s wildly difficult to ensure stuff is deleted or removed in the Fediverse across multiple servers.
It’s better to provide aggregated data (South East Asia instead of saying Thailand)
40 / M / Canada
I have the same impression as you do but looking at the early answers, looks like Europe is a bit younger. I hope we are wrong, I’d rather have a very widespread demography to have more diverse opinions.
