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 under 30
    • I use my PC for 3D render art as a hobby but otherwise I’m not a tech enthusiast
    • I don’t use Linux.

    With that said, early adopters are often tech enthusiasts. As the user base grows, so will the content and diversify itself.
