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?

Is that not just a broad cross section of the society we live in?

I actually like that, and I like this about the Fediverse in general: Nothing wrong with YA-oriented media, but I'd rather limit my own online time to stuff - and to a level of debate - that ideally is oriented exclusively towards the topics I'm most interested in, personally.

Wow, this is me.

It's because Fediverse is very complicated right now. E-Mail wasn't, that's why everyone adopted it pretty quickly.

I honestly don't see a future where Lemmy topling Reddit or Mastodon topling Twitter.

Federation's greatest strength is also it's weakness imo.

None of those categories are mutually exclusive when you use the tilde-30, especially.

Not a tech nerd. But over 30 for sure.

The Fediverse is still relatively "new" (in the sense that it really started gaining traction a few years ago) and the type of people you mentioned are just the first to know about it.

If we get enough support and the big problem social networks crack we'll probably get a more diverse crowd later on. I doubt the Fediverse will become mainstream but it's definitely more known now and becoming more popular.
