I’m really curious, has anyone here not seen this image before? Not playing internet gatekeeper, I’m curious about Lemmy demographics. This image was everywhere like 5-7 years ago.
It’s not about raw numbers, more like subgroups, if that makes sense?
Lemmy is a niche place, yes? Skews techie, nerdie, someone very internet heavy. At least that often seems to be an assumption I see about the place. But I don’t think it’s true, so I would just like to test that assumption, this is just an observation in that test.
I think Lemmy’s audience is actually fairly diverse, I also think it skews very young comparatively, for the latter in particular I think this is a good test.
It’s also of course possible that the techie, nerdy internet heavy crowd subgroup is big enough that even isolated to that sample, the chance of encountering someone who has seen the image before is actually that small, but nonetheless it’s a worthwhile observation.

That’s interesting to see your perception of it being fairly diverse. My perception is quite the opposite. It feels like there’s only a very specific demographic in here, and sometimes I even feel like leaving,due to being out from that group
How would you define the demographic and yourself?
I guess I am far away from that demographic too, but still like it. Having spent ages on Reddit and left when the api crap happened.
It feels like people are mostly from usa, a few from europe and a minority from other places. Most users give the impression of being economically above the average. Being tech-savvy doesn’t even need to be mentioned >.< but people tend to be a bit elitist about it. In fact, elitist it a word that describes much of what I observe around. It’s tricky to talk about it, because no one likes to be pointed on such things, but it’s something clearly observable from anyone from outside, like me
I’ve not seen it before. But then… I don’t keep up with either science or memes. So it has to break containment or just be a lucky moment when I’m chuckle-scrolling at the right time and place.

Maybe you overestimate the popularity of the places you frequented? Or maybe people’s memory simply isn’t that good
