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: 32.5 people
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
Huzzah! I know a bunch of geeks and radicals, so maybe that’s why.
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.
Makes sense. Thanks
Just my husband, but not sure he counts as he doesn’t have an account. I did meet one of my closest friends on Reddit though.
None, and that’s probably a good thing. And also really not unexpected given how small the platform is.
Oh hi mark
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.
Ha I’ll add 0.5 to the count
Just my partner and I.
I know some people using that big social network Lemmy-like. But none of them came to here.
None
I know one.
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.
Two. The friend who sent me here and a friend I sent here.
Zero. However I would be interested in seeing anyone in real life. I feel like it would go do in Lemmy history.
