What do you think the age demographic on Lemmy is?
Based on this poll with 599 participants from the german !ich_iel@feddit.org 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:
Which are pretty similar.
Yeah, prolly shifts older by 1 or 2 demographics, is my guess.
There have been several polls. We're older and more female than you think.
I would estimate
15% <25
60% 25-40
25% 40+
Y'all be showing your age sometimes 😅
Get off my lawn
Our lawn!
I'd agree with your breakdown. I'm early 40s and I feel like most people here are give or take 10 years of me
Awww man, I'm 2 years away from a bracket change.... My knees hurt more now.
I’m 30, so naturally I assume everyone else is too
28 and same. A lot more millennial energy here than Gen z. Honestly Lemmy feels like 2012 reddit to me so I assume it's mostly the same age group as me and a bit older. 🤷
Pretty sure everyone in the world is either 30, 60 or a child.
31, assume the same
0-100 I believe
My steam account is nearly 20, lol
Had the same email address for 27 years...
Solid, and still your main? My Hotmail would be similar age, but it's hardly used these days
My first browser was GOPHER.
85% neckbeards
Thanks, I almost forgot to shave 15% of my neck today!
I think mostly 30s and 40s based on the memes
Seems like a young crowd to me based on the often naive and idealistic post replies. OTOH, I'm very often surprised that so many seem my age (50s).
I have no idea but I imagine most should be younger than I am (50+)
I'm 18 if that's any help 🙃
Ayy, me 2
As a serious answer, I’d guess Lemmy skews younger. Too many idealists here to think the average user base has the wisdom that comes from experience.
Sorry, younglings. You’ll know when you get older: the long view clearly demonstrates optimism is a lie. History is a corkscrew. Progress is made, but only through endless repetitions of past mistakes.
Younger than 30yo the technical knowledge declines rapidly, so it's very unlikely for them to be here.
Mileage will vary. I have gotten a lot better when it comes to tech (mainly software) in the past 3 years, as someone who is only in the middle of his 20s.
younger than on Mastodon (where it’s overwhelmingly 40+)
Around 9 years old. Could be some 11 year olds in there.
I'm only 9 because thats when I died.
spooooooky
Reassessing after this week's events, most of the users I would have previously guessed were high school sophomores are probably adult Americans.
18 - 30
Most user are in age b/w 30-50 I guess. I am 17 btw.
~13-50
I have a 5 digit slashdot id.
Not sure, I'm mid thirties though
This few years are the largest single age years in us population. I think 34 is peak. In US at least.
i think we should poll in it
I think it varies greatly. The trans communities, for instance, seem to tread younger and I get the sense that many posters are teenagers. Tech communities, on the other hand, seem 30s-40s.
74-89
I don't want to be specific but I'm on the younger side of college age
25-35

I mean an average teen aint gonna find Lemmy or even like using Fediverse stuff
So does this make me an above average or below average teen?
Depends if you are 19 or 119?
(119 is technically a "teen" ager? no?)
Yesn't
i'd like to know too
Hello, I am your average Teen(17).
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.
39 here, exact same backstory.
I'm 27, and came here after the reddit blackout. Digg was before my time on the Internet. What was it like?
Did you have to peg me that hard before we've even met
It's my usual ice breaker.
That's a great point, we've been around the block so we're less receptive to enshittification bullshit
