    I know one guy, but I know him from a IRC (now Matric) channel, but we are offline friends too and visited each other often.

    But even for reddit I only know a person in real life that uses it. I tried to convert him, he said “there are too many Linux apologists” 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Nah. My brother, wife, my two best friends and one co-worker are the only ones who even know it exists, and that’s because they know I use it as an alternative to reddit since the API fiasco. It’s honestly pretty obscure, but I like it that way. I’d love to see larger niche communities, especially since r/stalker was one of the only places I could actively talk about my favorite game series, but Lemmy has been a far better experience overall.

    I didn’t know a single redditor either, some ppl who had seen my name (my dumbass doxed my full unique name as my username when I was a kid and I didnt change it forever) irl had mentioned it to me, but they didn’t use it past google, they weren’t posting, commenting, or signing up

      People don’t like redditors in general, its an insult, I dont think lemmy has the same vibe but its also not popular

      Same. Everyone that i know of that once used Reddit is still over there.

      If, for whatever reason, Reddit allows third party apps to be usable again over there like before the fallout then i might go back. But until then i am here.

    My immediate meat-space circles are aware of it and have stopped asking me WTH is wrong with my meme links in the group chats.

    I do not believe anyone else has an account.
