i think we should poll in it

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 5 points 2 hours ago

younger than on Mastodon (where it’s overwhelmingly 40+)

[–] Masta_Chief@lemmy.world 13 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Not an expert but I believe it's because they were born 19 years ago

[–] Masta_Chief@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Oh. Looks like I got whoooshed

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 minutes ago

It's ok. It is, in my opinion, one of the lamest memes on the internet.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 34 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 hours ago

Don’t forget /.

I stayed around that one for way, way too long.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Did you have to peg me that hard before we've even met

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 minutes ago

It's my usual ice breaker.

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 32 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, prolly shifts older by 1 or 2 demographics, is my guess.

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (3 children)

I would estimate

15% <25

60% 25-40

25% 40+

Y'all be showing your age sometimes 😅

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Get off my lawn

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm old as fuck. I definitely show my age as often as possible.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I showed my age in public and now I'm on a list... I keep getting AARP mailers.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 25 minutes ago

The aarps mailers are great once this FEMA camps get going

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 3 points 3 hours ago

Awww man, I'm 2 years away from a bracket change.... My knees hurt more now.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 2 hours ago
[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

My steam account is nearly 20, lol

[–] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Had the same email address for 27 years...

[–] mayhair@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 4 hours ago

I'm 18 if that's any help 🙃

[–] Libb@jlai.lu 7 points 4 hours ago

I have no idea but I imagine most should be younger than I am (50+)

[–] ofk12@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Not sure, I'm mid thirties though

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 2 points 20 minutes ago

This few years are the largest single age years in us population. I think 34 is peak. In US at least.
