My favorite part of Arch is reinstalling it over and over again. That first successful boot after the install gives too much dopamine.

I am a pretty heavy “Fediverse user” (Mastodon + Lemmy/Kbin) and my feeds have VERY little Linux talk. There is an incredibly diverse set of folks on the ‘verse but admittedly discoverability is hard. If the only people in your circle are Linux nerds then that’s all that might be boosted into your timeline. Put some effort into finding other folks and unfollow some of the Linux-only voices :-).
Maybe people aren't used to curate their own feed anymore.
That's the biggest thing. My Mastodon is very curated as is my subscribed feed. Put work in, get quality out.

I think it's mostly people viewing the "All"/"Community" feeds. Which I feel like you have to do in general as the niche communities haven't really gotten to a self sustaining point where you can check your "Home" feed and not run out of stuff to doom scroll.
Not to mention that if you happened to mention certain things in communities that are tangentially related (Windows/Nintendo/Apple) then it usually starts another off topic discussion on linux/piracy/whatever.
Honestly the linux stuff doesn't bother me as much as every topic seemingly turning into a critique of capitalism.

Getting really tired of this "the fediverse needs to cater to normie interests because we're here now and it's what we deserve" attitude. If you can't find a community to click with, you can always create one, join one you don't know much about with an open mind, or don't use the fediverse if it doesn't have the content you like. Sorry to say it but you're not special and no existing users on any social media platform is obligated to go out of their way to make you feel comfortable on the platform.
Same with the "your open source, community developed platform/client sucks! I demand you make the UX better because I the user deserve better! No I'm not going to donate to your development fund because you suck and need to be better before you deserve my money!" sentiments that I see on Lemmy more and more now. Seems like everyone just expects corporate level user experience and customer service from people developing open source software mostly for free as passion projects. Even after the numerous corporate boondoggles that drove people to the fediverse in the first place people aren't the slightest bit willing to change their paradigms regarding how social media should be run.
You forgot "Lemmy is developed by tankies so someone that isn't me should fork it and work their asses off so I feel more comfortable for some reason."

I love Linux and playing with it and I still feel the same way. I don't want to talk about it all day. Stackoverflow exists.
Yeah, or at least keep it to c/Linux
We don't need all communities to devolve into Linux conversations.
this is the future

Sounds like a skill issue.
Lmao, I'm tempted to say "skill issue" any time someone comments about me using Linux over Windows now

Your Mastodon feed will be entirely about who the people you follow are talking about, so follow different people, (or hashtags) and the conversation will change.

hmmmmSelf hosting, at least for lemmy, is absolute trash. I have been told a few times when asking questions that, "it is expected that you are thoroughly experienced with Linux" to be able to follow the mediocre guides. And they are trash if you are a newbie.
So people like me, who would love to use Lemmy for non Linux things, am posting almost entirely about Linux problems.
I wouldn’t expect running a publicly accessible server on the internet to be easy or a great idea for someone not familiar with the OS they’re using. Great way to learn, though.

If you never used windows before and were trying to do something complicated like self hosting on it, you would be having nothing but issues....

Used Ubuntu Linux for a year back around '08-'09. Didn't have a great experience and went back to Windows. Since then I've never had a reason to try it again. That said, I've nothing but respect for those that use a flavour of Linux or Mac OS. At the end of the day doing the things you need done is what matters and if a different OS than mine gets you there, that's awesome.

I've been wondering if we're losing users. My "Everything" feed sorted by Active is full of posts with zero comments, and a great deal of them are just news article links that were probably automated.

I mean, do the people at the fediverse really talk mainly about Linux? I see in both Lemmy and Mastodon more people talking about US politics, LGBTQ+ stuff and furrys (lmao) than anything related to technology in general. I guess the kind of content someone sees would depend a lot on the instance someone creates their account in?

Some days most of what goes through my feed is Linux stuff, c/FuckCars, and hardcore communism and it feels like I'm in the wrong place. Most of the time I enjoy myself though.
