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?

    I’m normier than the listed demographics and find the Fediverse and it’s associated jargon to be inline with 4 dimensional crochet in terms of ease of use

      To make myself clear I’d rather be confused about lemmy servers than ever, ever use Discord as a wiki
