Are there any celebrities that are confirmed to be using lemmy?
I know celebs have used Reddit, have any followed us to Lemmy that are confirmed. For example I know Adam from mythbusters was an active redditor or Arnold Schwarzenegger etc. Do we know if any have came along with us
I’ve seen Margot Robbie on here. 😏
But have you talked to Margot Robbie here though?
Not yet, but maybe one of these days.
I’m too shy 🥺
I thought it was a hallucination from eating too many raw hot dogs
Margot Robbie. 😉
How many times do we have to go over this?
It’s “esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie”.
It’s a more humble title than “Lemmy Android moderator”
I love Margot Robbie, she even commented on one of my comments here!
Is it confirmed though? I don’t want to seem like I’m being an arse but anyone can make a profile. I don’t know how to ask this without being a dick on the end haha
Margot Robbie uses Lemmy
That dude who didn’t poop for three days is a celebrity to me
If anyone, I guess we have Torvalds or Stallman. But if they were here, I doubt they be stupid enough to admit it.
As long as you have a blatantly AI generated profile picture and don’t get verified, you can literally say any dumb stuff you want here and no one will ever try to cancel you for what you said.
I have finally solved social media!
SUBLIME!
They’re on Mastodon.
Stephen fry is an absolute legend. Do you mind explaining mastodon for me? I never understood twitter so it could be a big ask.
Yeah, I’m definitely the wrong person to ask about Mastodon. I have an account and I scroll through some posts every few weeks or so if I’m bored. I don’t really use it.
google: “celebrities on mastodon”
Seems there are not that much celebrities around, and Stephen Fry’s last post there is from early September. Idk. I guess celebrities post things on platforms like Twitter but don’t exactly spend their time on link aggregators / discussion platforms like Lemmy. I’ve seen a few on Reddit. But even on the bigger AMAs they often had a seperate account or someone do it for them. But there are a few on Reddit. And we here on Lemmy only have 40.000 active users. So judging by the statistics I wouldn’t expect many celebs here.
I never understood twitter so it could be a big ask.
Twitter (old school, original version)
Well, it is restricted to short messages. They are long enough to post a hit take on a subject but short enough that it is impossible to actually give a reasoned answer to something.
It makes it the perfect one liner and outrage machine service. Whether that was by accident or by design is up for the reader to decide.
I think the beauty of this line of social media is that it is so anonymous in the sense that it doesn’t matter who is behind the username. It can be the most basic bitch in Ohio, a shut-in from Italy, a porn star from Hungary or a chart breaking pop star from London. As long they have something interesting to contribute, it does not matter at all who they are. No need to prove anything. Everybody can just be.
I think this is very interesting, and you should go pester ones like Stephen Fry on mastadon to come have a play with lemmy
Just as a homage to Stephen Fry in particular, here’s a fantastic audiobook version of hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy on archive.org
Mythos is also awesome
Who cares? They’re people just like anyone else.
I get that, I’m just curious, hence “no stupid questions” otherwise I wouldn’t ask… I don’t care about their names or instances, I’m just asking a question. Why reply without an actual answer?
Gestures to name of this Community
I nominate you buddy! You’re the first Lemmy celebrity! Well wait wasn’t there that one person who talked about holding his poop? He might be in the #1 spot lol
Hahaha, I can’t hold it that long although if I got a small fortune for it, I’d promise to hold it for as long as humanly possible and to donate any money to a charity of the donors choice.
No, nonono. What made you think there were?
Great, now I can’t use Lemmy.
I believe I’ve seen Margot Robbie pop in a few threads here and there
Maybe now I can leverage my newfound e-celeb status into an acting career!
I’m famous in an alternate universe in the future. That count?
I know the artist behind LoadingArtist.com is on lemmy
Are you the artist behind loadingartist.com?
No. I’m just a mod and aware that he’s been posting because other mods were talking about it.
Are there any celebrities that are confirmed to be using lemmy?
Sheesh I hope not. Aren’t their marketers doing a good enough job? Many celebs want to be treated like ordinary people (which they all are, aside from their cardboard cutouts) and the last thing they need is be mobbed by idolators.
But us common idolators want to mob them
Remember that movie? “We want BWYAN!”
There’s one that I know of but I can’t remember her name. I think it starts with “A” and she might be Australian but don’t quote me on that.
Argot Obbie?
Academy Award nominated character actress Argot Obbie.

Appreciate where this post is posted, but I doubt we’ll see any celebs on lemmy ever. I mean who are we who are here? Tech-interested nerds at best, incels and tankies at the worst. Only one I could think would ever bother being here because he’s a based nerd is Henry Cavill
Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Agreed. My SO is looking for an alternative to reddit but I have nothing to recommend her to. I don’t even try to get her into Lemmy because there nothing here for her. This place is way more niche than most people here realize and the entire Lemmy as a whole is compareable in size and actvity to a single relatively popular subreddit.
volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 1 year ago
True. Apart from mediocre memes and the same news over and over there is not much to do here if you aren’t into tech. It might actually be good if you spend too much time on reddit, but then again there’s also a sense of community and, let’s be honest, mindless relaxation in communities like makeup addiction, new parents, AITA or moldly interesting. They are all missing here. I had just discovered a bra that fits before the reddit shutdown. Now I will never find a bra that fits I guess.
I just hope to wait and see more ordinary people come along.

I get that, I’d be happy to have Henry here with us. Tbf to us all, I’m closer to technophobe than I am to tech interested but I do agree with what you’ve said. I’ve basically just followed links when Reddit api’s shut down and here I am, so it’s not a far shout for some celebrities to do the same but I’m still not holding my breath.

Henry? Is that you?
mandolrain@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No, this is Margot Diesel. I think you saw me in Wolf of Family and Speed IX
DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Not necessarily. If (big if) there’s enough users here then celebrities will come.
They’d want to form their own instance though, and for that reason it wouldnt have the glorious drama of /r/AMA - they would just delete any spicy stuff.

Don’t remember how reddit started? I’d say nerds and atheists, mostly. Now look at it, nerds hate it and christofascists love it. So don’t say there’s no chance of change.
Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Idk if he’s using actually using Lemmy, but what about Linus Torvalds?
Sharpiemarker@startrek.website 1 year ago
Unfortunately Henry Cavill isn’t the nerd hero we thought he was.
mandolrain@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Don’t know about hero but I still believe he’s a nerd. Felt like a lot of things in that article wasn’t confirmed and was mere speculation by the writer. Not trying to defend the guy but I got no insight into those rumors and I don’t care enough to investigate
WhatsUpDoc@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Read the article, there’s nothing here that makes him into a dick.
