I actually like that, and I like this about the Fediverse in general: Nothing wrong with YA-oriented media, but I'd rather limit my own online time to stuff - and to a level of debate - that ideally is oriented exclusively towards the topics I'm most interested in, personally.

heh
I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away?
I know what is. It's the instances concept and lack of mobile apps. Sure you can open the web page in any mobile browser and it will render fine but just the amount of instances, their specific rules and perhaps many people not realizing you can connect to other instances is one of the biggest drawbacks even if it's the most powerful feature of the Fediverse.
Reddit is a single site, single brand, single point of contact. For Lemmy it feels like many different sites using the same template but with their own communities that other instances also have so users might get confused by the whole concept.
Accessibility, I find a lot of things still have issues on fediverse (especially the mobile app scene). Although I am atleast well under 30 if that helps break the stereotype haha.
Yep, it is a bit refreshing. Feels new and old school at the same time
a/s/l ?
Also, does using Lemmy get me enough cred to get a high-paying tech job? Teaching in a public school isn't paying the bills...

It's because Fediverse is very complicated right now. E-Mail wasn't, that's why everyone adopted it pretty quickly.
I honestly don't see a future where Lemmy topling Reddit or Mastodon topling Twitter.
Federation's greatest strength is also it's weakness imo.
maybe everyone here respect more, looking more mature, giving the impression of older people
