So... on average late 30s/early 40s? So it's actually a Lemmy post, rather than a Reddit post?
I'd be pretty interesting to have access to age demographics for social media. I assume Reddit leans younger than Lemmy, but I'm in my early 20s and so are a few of my friends, and we use Lemmy a lot more.
Lemmy feels a lot less mature than Reddit, for what that’s worth.
