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 agree! That’s what brought me over here. I really didn’t like what happened over Reddit and just love trying new technology out. Been hearing about Mastodon and the Fediverse so I gave it a shot. The mobile apps were what sold me on this and have kept me here.

      That’s how I found Reddit. Digg platform fucked around and found out. I hope the same for Reddit.
