  Maybe you overestimate the popularity of the places you frequented? Or maybe people’s memory simply isn’t that good

    It’s not about raw numbers, more like subgroups, if that makes sense?

    Lemmy is a niche place, yes? Skews techie, nerdie, someone very internet heavy. At least that often seems to be an assumption I see about the place. But I don’t think it’s true, so I would just like to test that assumption, this is just an observation in that test.

    I think Lemmy’s audience is actually fairly diverse, I also think it skews very young comparatively, for the latter in particular I think this is a good test.

    It’s also of course possible that the techie, nerdy internet heavy crowd subgroup is big enough that even isolated to that sample, the chance of encountering someone who has seen the image before is actually that small, but nonetheless it’s a worthwhile observation.

      That’s interesting to see your perception of it being fairly diverse. My perception is quite the opposite. It feels like there’s only a very specific demographic in here, and sometimes I even feel like leaving,due to being out from that group

        How would you define the demographic and yourself? I guess I am far away from that demographic too, but still like it. Having spent ages on Reddit and left when the api crap happened.

  I’ve not seen it before. But then… I don’t keep up with either science or memes. So it has to break containment or just be a lucky moment when I’m chuckle-scrolling at the right time and place.

  Actually no. My account is 2 years 7 months and before I have been on reddit for ages. But I cannot remember ever having seen this.
