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. 😏
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”
She is an android?! AI won before we could even prepare to give a fight, right?
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.
My dude… it’s 100% not her
Sometimes I play her on TV though.
Yeah I went through the profile, doesn’t seem like her. And there’s no proof.
Quiet down you’re going to anger Margot Robbie
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.

Margot Robbie uses Lemmy
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. 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.
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.
I do love a hot take, I think I got that from blindboy though. His hot takes are chefs kiss
What I never understood about twitter was actually seeing what people say. Unless I follow them I don’t see their messages and I don’t know who to follow for the most active and enjoyable content, that was my main issue for twitter.
I have never found twitter enjoyable. Never had an account and found following a thread there way too much work for what you get back.
Been using Mastodon a while. Once you hit critical mass of people you follow you just sort of find new ones.
If someone you enjoy reading boosts something someone else has said you go off and probably end up following them too.
With Mastodon you have to be a bit more pro active about building (and pruning) your social network but I’ve found it worthwhile.
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 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
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.
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 usernames or instances, I’m just asking a question. Why reply without an actual answer?

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
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.
I once saw an user with the name spez. I heard he is pretty popular
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.
Esteemed*
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.
