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?

Reddit started the same way and guess what happens once the mass started joining it

We do need to attract young people, this is what social media do as well, very important.

Mid 30s, healthcare worker but I suppose I'm a tech enthusiast. Use windows on work computer due to needing a few windows only programs for work, Unraid on my NAS, and Ubuntu on my VPS. So I guess 1 and 3 are true and half of 2.

Like every other tech-related stuff that has some "depth" compared to "normie stuff"....? Yep, pretty much.

I'm 27, though the latter two match.

I know what is. It's the instances concept and lack of mobile apps. Sure you can open the web page in any mobile browser and it will render fine but just the amount of instances, their specific rules and perhaps many people not realizing you can connect to other instances is one of the biggest drawbacks even if it's the most powerful feature of the Fediverse.

Reddit is a single site, single brand, single point of contact. For Lemmy it feels like many different sites using the same template but with their own communities that other instances also have so users might get confused by the whole concept.

This group also intersects with people who give a shit about.

[–] vahirua@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, it is a bit refreshing. Feels new and old school at the same time

I feel personally attacked.
