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?

      Huh, apparently the deletion wasn’t propagated to my instance. If I follow the link to the original instance (lemmy.ca), I can see that it’s deleted there, but on my instance (feddit.de) it’s still visible.

      I guess, the takeaway is that the deletion function in Lemmy isn’t reliable.

      Which brings us straight back to the topic ;)
