The fediverse heavily leans towards men, as does Reddit opposed to TikTok and Instagram where those social media apps lean towards women. From what I understand men outnumber women 10:1 on the fediverse.

We are still in it's infancy, the thing is even Reddit used to be this bad when it comes to that. I believe there's here's a certain point of critical mass that sites like these have to reach before you have a sustaining women population. But as the fediverse grows women focused communities are certain to grow albeit at a slower rate.

With that said keep expectations in check; while there's no reason women can't be as involved and active as men are it seems that sites focused on text-based forum discussions has a broader appeal towards males. Don't understand why that is but it just means that it will lean towards males, so the demographics will always be skewed.
