Very few blind people have no vision at all, and many, including myself, have sufficient vision to see what’s on the TP. Otherwise, the friction as you wipe is a decent indicator, and if you’re not sure you can just make a few more passes.
I thought most people on here would get the reference from how often “How do blind people wipe their butt?” comes up on /r/showerthoughts, but I’ll change the post title to avoid any other weird comments.
I think most of us are, but a lot of us made the switch quite some time ago… mid-2023 was a pretty big migration wave, and so have largely forgotten about Redditisms. :)
I joined my first instance around that time, and finally deleted my Reddit account a few months later. But I still lurk on some subreddits. There’s no Orangutan community on Lemmy :(

That extra bit of context definitely helps to frame why someone would be asking you those things!

For what it’s worth, that’s probably more of a Reddit thing; I don’t think I’ve ever seen that asked on Lemmy.
I guess I assume all Lemmings are former Redditors like myself and I suppose that’s not the case.

Be the change you want to see! Lemmy loves specific animal communities! Bats and superbowl come to mind
