I keep seeing people comment that Lemmy is mostly men in their 20s and 30s. That's not my demo and many of the posts/comments i see don't seem to fit that.

I'm a fresh young 40yr old male. My joints.

Snap crackle pop joints slowly rise up.

That's my exact demo

Age is not hardwired to things like posting behavior, personal views and affinity to technology. There are people younger than me who use their phone like my mom and write comments my grandpa would think are backwards thinking.

Totally, but I've seen several comments where people mention talking to their kids about topics, or other experiences that tend to lean a little older.

Are you looking for only people who access ActivityPub content via a Lemmy instance, or are other platforms allowed to respond?

Older than that by about 20 years here, but I'm on kbin.social, where it tends to be pretty diverse - there's a pretty even balance of posting by gender, where it can be determined. It definitely feels more friendly towards minorities here than some of the lemmy instances. I think it really depends on what instance you're on.

Dude in his late 20s

I'm a dude beyond my 30's at this point. What would you guess is the demographics? I'd say that a typical being a 20s/30s M is about right, although it seems there's a higher portion of women and trans people here (or at least describing themselves as such).
