Just curious, what brought you to lemmy?
I was gonna guess 76
I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago when the internet was made!
Ok boomer.
Well fuck, I'm on the young end of Gen X and I was around for the birth of the internet in '83.
What's specific about '83? ARPANET began in 1969 and grew from there, mostly in academia, until HTTP finally transformed it into the WWW in the '90s.
The "September that never ended" began in 1993. Maybe you meant that?
I'm thinking of TCP/IP allowing for the connectivity to massively expand around '83.
Do you remember using Gopher?
I do. And telnet, and eventually winsock and altavista. I miss alt.lemmy.shitpost
Lemmy was first released in 2019. So its oldest user can be no older than about 6 years old.
That certainly explains some things...
I am ancient
There are definitely people in their 90's using Lemmy.
For my own sake, I'm gonna assume there's some 90+ dude in a nursing home, shitposting and laughing his ass off regularly. The nurses just assume he really likes beans or something, and that makes him laugh harder.
Keep trolling, old dude.
Based on the comments on some threads I'd say about 13
Nah gng you fr fronting with your lame ahh statistics bro ong💀🙏
My brain
Ive seen lemmy generally have older people than reddit
The must be at least one 14 year old

Nice
No thnx.
Oldest I've seen so far claims 75. Can't remember who it was though.
Is it you and your memory just isn't as good as it used to be?
Oh, I am old, and my memory is dogshit, but I aint that old... :)
There was a question posed about 60s flower children and such a bit ago they had someone saying they were one, so somewhere 70+ I'd guess.
I'm 61. Who's older?
Me, I’m 72. I didn’t expect to make it past 30; dying young was all the rage back then and I did a lot of drugs. But somehow here I am, knitting, sipping tea and browsing Lemmy.
That's pretty dang cool :)
How did you find Lemmy? It's just the fediverse is a touch trickier to join without so I wonder how older people managed. I'm 50 but I've always been an internet person since the dawn of Livejournal so I figured most of it out.
From Reddit. But I started on Usenet.

bout tree fiddy
Who opened the door for the gotdamn lochness monster?!
Someone mentioned being 101 in a comment. Probably them.
61 here
I work in a care home but it doesn't pay well, bought a bucket ton of android phones, installed Voyager and gave them to the elderly to create a Lemmy shit post botnet. All the spiciest memes come from my care home botnet with the oldest member being 102 yo.
Now I just need to find a way to monetise this endeavour.
Does Lemmy support polls? Seems like this would be a good poll.
I heard that the average user is in his thirties so it skews a bit up compared to other new platforms. There are probably some tech savvy people that worked with computers until retirement on here.
I'd guess late 60s maybe
Way older than that i think. I'd guess 80s. Retired people have a lot of free time.

I've wondered how old the general usesr is. Somehow I imagine 30s (chronologically)
