Me as Gen Z trying to get all my Gen Z friends to join Lemmy, not very successfully. Though to be fair, I’m basically as old as you can be and still be Gen Z.
My introduction is subtle. I text content to people. When they ask me where I get it (it’s happened twice so far), I say Lemmy. They say, “what’s that.” Gives me an opportunity to explain the similarities and differences with (advantages over) Reddit. No takers yet, but it’s coming.
On Reddit there’s a lot of “lemmy’s too complicated to be adopted by the general public”. Ik we don’t all have the same tech literacy but it doesn’t seem that complicated, like, do you understand emailing? Then you understand most of what lemmy is… (also you don’t even have to understand the intricacies to enjoy your experience there)
Week 1 feels like a ghost town. Week 2 feels like old old Reddit. Week 3 feels like old Reddit. I’m content and there is content.
Watch out! At this rate it’ll feel like enshttfied Reddit by week 5
Me in my 40s
Thats above 20, so you’re key demographic and not at all an outlier
