If you have 10,000+ users that are a representative sample of all internet users (or pretty close), your estimates should be pretty good for popular sites.
I think the demographic for lemmy (and lemmy.ml in particular) is so niche and so biased towards privacy that even with a bigger sample, it’s next to impossible to get good data.
Though I don’t doubt that the lemmy userbase heavily skews male.

Your sample might still be small for lemmy.ml.

Agreed on both counts! :)
