The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:

  • ~30 years old or older

  • tech enthusiasts/workers

  • linux users

There’s nothing wrong with that particular demographic or anything, but it doesn’t feel like a win to me if the entire fediverse is just one big monoculture.

I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away? Is picking a server/federation too complicated? Or is it that they don’t see any content that they like?

Thoughts?

      The shit posting is strong with Lemmy. Maybe too strong. I’m trying hard to post to non-meme communities, but the meme communities keep dominating c/all

        This is horseshit. Horseshit, horseshit, horseshit. And for those of you who don’t know what that means, it’s the shit that comes from a horse!
