I thought Lemmy didn't collect info about me 🧐
I'm normier than the listed demographics and find the Fediverse and it's associated jargon to be inline with 4 dimensional crochet in terms of ease of use

I spent most of my time on Reddit in the learn programming subs, so I'm glad at least that demographic has moved here. I'm almost 34, don't work in tech but want to, don't use Linux but want to (and if the rumors of windows adding ads to the OS are true I will switch to Linux full time except for gaming). I wasn't really that invested in the reddit API changes but I liked reddit when it was more under ground and wild west. I used to spend a lot of time on rcsources (those days are behind me regardless, though). So I wanted to see if there was still room on the internet for the outlaw tech cowboy shtick, and Lemmy stepped up to the plate.

Well.. I'm 36 yo physician, an orthopedic surgeon resident. But I do LOVE tech&gaming. I want to switch from reddit because my favorite app boost stopped working and the creator is developing a boost app for lemmy. Oh and the official reddit app is just shit. I do hope lemmy will get bigger.
Oh wow, it's great to hear from a fellow healthcare professional!
I'm a 5th year med student who switched to using lemmy once my favourite app, sync for reddit stopped working :(
I'm a huge tech nerd too and while I do love the culture here, I find myself occasionally wondering if there are any communities on lemmy focused on medicine and/or medical professionals.
Would you happen to know any that you could recommend?

I'm 20, but if this is the case, and I've heard a lot of people saying Gen Z is not that good with technology though I haven't seen anything verifying that, then that's a bit terrifying, honestly. ~Strawberry

30s software engineer / linux user here.
We are exactly who you want as the "primer" user group. We will collectively make sure the whole thing works before the load really rams up.
We're the generation that learned to troubleshoot bc we had to. If we wanted to play that shiny new game or app, we had to actually get it running first.
I think about this a lot. I'm so grateful I had the experience of messing with the windows registry and other phenomena of the 90s.

Yes, that why I blocked most of them, this is not a fucking Linux forum, you nerds, even if it operates on foss
Buncha goddam commies too. Forgetting what economics system keeps them ass deep in Cheetos and mountain dew.
Oh yea. One additional demographic too--super excited young people. It's large.
It's just early-adopter types so far. We're not exactly what I would call a "major service" yet.
