Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?
Not that I’m for letting it into the fediverse, but I wonder if something like Meta’s Threads will end up with that other demographic given how marketing (and influencer marketing in particular) is especially effective on younger, less savvy audiences.
Lemmy by it’s very nature is never going to do that. But then again, Reddit was never particularly hip; I teach at University and not even my nerdier students used that, let alone anything from the fediverse. That was all TikTok and Snapchat.
Now this is a community I can get behind, like a lifted pickup truck tailgating with his LED high beams on.
