    When I tell people the only social media I use is Lemmy, I always wait patiently for follow up questions immediately after, which never come, because nobody gives a shit about what obscure social media the 35 year old man uses.

      As a 23 year old man, i quite often get the follow up “whats lemmy” but nothing beyond that.

      I told one of my co-workers I used Lemmy, and he actually used Mastodan, so I’m the one who ended up asking him questions

      I just say “I frequent a few niche forums”. No follow up questions. I’m old as well.

        I frequent forums, too. Mostly car and motorcycle forums. Lemmy doesn’t really have those kinds of forums.

          If you have content please post it. I’d love to have a motorcycle forum here but can’t really add content

            You wanna see me install a Raspberry Pi 3 into my minivan to run the rear seat entertainment system? 😅

            I’m more of a lurker than anything else haha. I scour forums for issues my cars/bikes are dealing with, and occasionally will ask a question here or there. I don’t really make many posts anymore, unless I’m doing a specific job or troubleshooting process that I haven’t seen documented anywhere else.

              I mean, I don’t not want to see that…
