    I’ve seen those posts too, but can’t speak German. What does “ich_iel” actually mean?

      It’s “ich im echten Leben”, which is a literal translation of “me in real life”.

      Basically it’s a meme community and the german version of me_irl.

        Actually, it’s a direct translation of I_irl. It should really have been mich_iel or mir_iel.
