Short summary (what we know from the 2023 census). Feel free to add an additional observations:
Total responses: 531 (about 8% of ~6,500 registered users at the time)
Age: the distribution peaks in the 30–39 bracket (author: “average age … a bit older than other social platforms”).
Gender: strong male skew — 441 identify as “Man”, 32 as “Woman”, 25 as “Non-binary” (plus a few others)
Location: ~87% of respondents are from Canada
Education & employment: high education levels (e.g., 223 reported a Bachelor’s, 55 Master’s, 19 PhD) and ~70.8% employed full-time.
So your typical answer is coming from a fairly well educated mid 30’s Canadian guy. Huh.


lemmy.ca isn’t the entire Lemmy. (It’s not the plurality either)
