      I’ve recommended it to others, but none are interested, which is extra surprising considering how many of them work in tech or tech adjacent.

        Lemmy is more its memes than its technocommunist roots. It’s not a very sticky experience if you don’t like the memes. (I like the memes)

        I mentioned it, but didn’t try to recommend it to my forty something sisters who mostly use Facebook, because I figured it was a lost cause (and we’re small enough that I’d be very identifiable from my comments), but try were both very interested in it. Unfortunately, I lost them trying to explain it.

      I don’t like recommending to friends because then they’ll ask me what my account is and I prefer to stay anonymous. I feel like I probably have friends that are on Lemmy and haven’t shared with me for the same reason tbh.

      The worst thing I ever did was get to the front page of Reddit back in 2010 and then all my friends knew my handle forever.

        I considered it when I got my friends to join Reddit ~20 years ago. I made a second account that just posted links to cat pics, no comments. Cute animals are a safe bet.

        Bonus, they started sending me cute pictures of their ferrets and dogs that I wish I had backed up beyond a long forgotten flickr
