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?
I’m too shy 🥺
Not yet, but maybe one of these days.
I thought it was a hallucination from eating too many raw hot dogs
That’s actually true and the only thing that helps against this is drinking the hotdog water too
That dude who didn’t poop for three days is a celebrity to me
Margot Robbie uses Lemmy
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
If anyone, I guess we have Torvalds or Stallman. But if they were here, I doubt they be stupid enough to admit it.
No, nonono. What made you think there were?
Great, now I can’t use Lemmy.
Margot Robbie. 😉

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 in the end haha
Here you go: @MargotRobbie
Again, I feel like I might be a total cynic here. I’ve actually interacted with this profile recently according to upvotes and replies I’ve actually typed myself but there’s nothing confirming that it’s not someone else impersonating Margot robbie. I feel like a tit for calling it out but this hasn’t confirmed anything for me except that this person turned up early to get their username.
I’ve interacted several times, and the profile at least early on implied it wasn’t necessarily her. I think at best it’s sometimes her and sometimes her people. If it’s her, of even if it’s just one person, it’s one very well rounded individual, well versed on a lot of topics.
I’d be pretty surprised if people like Cory Doctorow aren’t on here, but most celebrities engage for a reason (eg to be seen and maintain their brand). It’s happening somewhat on Mastodon and on Threads, but even on Reddit it was limited to the occasional AMA for the most part. If people were participating, they were mostly using aliases.
I don’t think we have enough organic users yet to make an AMA kind of thing happen regularly with random celebs, and I suspect most of them aren’t yet drawn to the content and format we have so far.
They’re on Mastodon. Quite a few. I think I’m subscribed to Stephen Fry and some others.
Stephen fry is an absolute legend. Do you mind explaining mastodon for me? 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 hot 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.
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 like 40.000 active users. So judging by the statistics I wouldn’t expect many celebs here.
I once saw an user with the name spez. I heard he is pretty popular
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!”
My namesake is famous in an alternate universe. That count?
I know the artist behind LoadingArtist.com is on lemmy and posting. That’s about all I got.
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.
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?
