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. 😏
That dude who didn’t poop for three days is a celebrity to me
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.
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 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.
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.
If anyone, I guess we have Torvalds or Stallman. But if they were here, I doubt they be stupid enough to admit it.
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?
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.
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!”
