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?

I joined reddit in 2011 as a 22 yr old CS student. Lemmy sort of feels like reddit did back then.

100% agree, feels like what Reddit was before/during the digg migration. And I love it.

Even if Reddit never dies and there's no "great migration", I'm happier here.

It does make me sad how much internet history we're losing. Lot of smaller niche subs are still very established on Reddit and probably wouldn't survive moving (yet).

Yeah I'm happier here too, post quality is much better so far

It seems like history does indeed repeat itself.
