  I’ve mentioned lemmy irl, too. Various times actually. Obviously no one knows it. But they usually don’t even know of mastodon or the fediverse either. And even reddit is just a name they’ve heard before. Everyone I know irl is on Instagram though.

  Never once have they known about it already:-).

  The horrified looks come on our subsequent visit, and then they refuse to talk about it again. I suppose it’s our dirty secret… that we use Lemmy btw.:-P

    I’ve only met maybe five people in real life that even know what Reddit is. Like yeah that’s that super nerdy site right?

    I’ve never even tried to mention Lemmy.

      But… we could always use new memes!?

      Maybe something like this:
