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?

    To buttress this point I’d like to point out that this software we’re all running is version 0.18.

    I’m not even inviting friends an family yet. I’m still troubleshooting my own experience. I’m not even able to use Lemmy on Firefox on my desktop for some reason.
