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?

Why can’t I access this community with Connect for Lemmy? I’m a little bit confused 🤔

Idk, I haven’t used Connect. I used Jerboa, Liftoff, and then Wefwef. I’ve been sticking with Wefwef now because it seems to work well, but I still switch to Liftoff if I’m experiencing some technical issues and want to see if it’s the app or the servers.

It’s strange, because from main menu, it works, but from this link, it doesn’t.
