I would like to get more crafting content on here but tbh most of my friends from that stuff still use Facebook, never mind anything newer. They'll be ready for Fedi by about 2045 if we're lucky.
In the meantime getting to hang out with a load of likeminded nerds does in fact feel to me like a win.
I think it’s only older people who remember what the internet was like before everything became corporate controlled or SEO optimized.
who else would use decentralized threaded forums
I'm still wrapping my head around the whole fediverse concept, but demographics will change as the platform matures and more instances for various topics spring up.
try to be patient and and just participate in the community.
the apps for lemmy are going to be the biggest help in growing the community right now.

Yeah….. :/
Woo im glad to see so much diversity.
On a side note, I feel attacked.
2/3 unless we count my pixel phone which honestly barely does. but yes it's mostly enthusiasts and that will be fine if we get enough movement.
I feel not nearly as much on Lemmy, but for Mastodon 100% yes. It's actually exhausting talking to them lol, they're so boring.
I think that tends to be the starting point, but the user base is expanding quickly and is becoming way more diverse. There are already plenty of users who don't fit in that category, and I suspect it will continue to grow.
Perhaps it's because people under 30 have no sense of responsibility so don't really care to communicate much with peers. They don't have the means to bring systems like this online. They don't have the historical perspective to take part in intelligent conversation, so they have Twitter and Facebook.
Gen-X, and have been working in technology for 27 years. I run windows as a daily driver but also am running a few host machines in my house with multiple Linux VMs. It's a mix of RockyOS, Ubuntu and arch VMs. Not a single GUI on any of them.
