If the population is that near, theoretically lemmy has some representation of this over-70s group? y'all here?

Not currently, he's asleep. My dad uses lemmy casually. So does my mom. Mind you, my mom is only in it for the gifs. My dad doesn't comment at all, but he scrolls some music C/s and the occasional cat/cute animal C/. He's actually closer to 80 than 70 tbh.

They never actually used reddit at all, but my dad noticed me checking my usual music C/s, which includes the classic rock one, and we started talking music. He wanted to check things out himself, so I set him up.

My mom just asked if I knew anywhere other than tiktok after I was complaining about how shitty it is, thinking it would be a dunk. She didn't stop using tiktok, but now she's on lemmy too.

What does the “C/s” stand for

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy uses the c/insert community name format, similar to r/ on reddit.

A C/ is, therefore, a community, and C/s are communities.

We ran a census on lemmy.ca recently.

We're still working on the full graphs/summaries/results, but I can confirm that we had responses in that age range :)

Hopefully we should have the results out in a few weeks

Pretty much the first internet generation makes sense
