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.
That’s a great point, we’ve been around the block so we’re less receptive to enshittification bullshit
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.
I would estimate
15% <25
60% 25-40
25% 40+
Y’all be showing your age sometimes 😅
I’m old as fuck. I definitely show my age as often as possible.
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.
Most user are in age b/w 30-50 I guess. I am 17 btw.
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. 🤷
I’m 31. From what I’ve seen, a large portion are around this age. I think there’s very few young people.
not completely correct! 19
0-100 I believe
I think mostly 30s and 40s based on the memes
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.
I too am in my mid 20s and I generally have gotten more tech literate in the last couple years, though mostly hardware since software is the devil.
I personally view hardware as the devil, so we’re kinda opposites in that regard.
Atleast when hardware decides to catastrophically fail it makes a lot of noise about it a solid chunk of the time.
My steam account is nearly 20, lol
25-35
I’m 19!
I’m also 19
Wow 👌 👏
How…?
Reassessing after this week’s events, most of the users I would have previously guessed were high school sophomores are probably adult Americans.
I’m 18 if that’s any help 🙃
Ayy, me 2
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.
I have no idea but I imagine most should be younger than I am (50+)
