I know and can accept the response that say I should register to X site if I want more activity. I do plan to, least with Reddit, just biding some time before I make yet the 20th disposable e-mail and probably the 100th account before it gets banned again if I cross a glass person. Glass person being someone who’s so fragile on opinions and things that they’ll scream ‘BAN THEM BAN THEM!’.
I’ve been on KBin Social, Lemmy World (least 2 dedicated accounts), KBin Run, Mastodon, Blue Sky .etc
And I’d stay for a good while but I also found myself bored immediately. I check for questions to answer, it’s the same questions I’ve seen days and weeks prior. I check around for things that are reported and they’ll be hours old and some of them can be years old.
I love the idea of the Fediverse, I like some of the features that are implemented. Especially when you do ask questions on here and you’re allowed to expand on it. Unlike AskReddit for example, they don’t really like that and will remove your post because explaining what your question is about and backing it with an example is just unacceptable to them.
I don’t know. 43,000+ people sounds a lot on paper, but in practice, it feels like you’re dealing with 50 people at any given day.
I just wish it had more diversity.
Everyone’s a white 40-year-old born male Linux admin in here.
Hey! I’m a white 30-year-old born female Linux user, clearly Lemmy is burgeoning with diversity!
I’m a 40-year-old white man? I had no idea
Sorry you had to find out this way
Welcome! Here’s your complimentary Thinkpad and cat.
Congratulations. But being in your 20s is better. At least you get to be white I guess.
Who tf is born 40 years old???
There’s plenty of diversity if you join boards focused on them, like LGBTQ communities. I think the defaults just lean excessively into the demographic you described.
Yep, Hexbear is generally more diverse, even if it still leans towards the general Lemmy demographics. The presence of communities like Traa and strong pro-LGBTQ moderation helps that greatly, same with anti-zionism.

Hey! I’m 32.
It does. You aren’t looking. I always feel a sense that I am talking to people from other parts of the world. Moreso than anywhere’s else.
It depends how you define diversity. The overwhelming majority of content is for the white, Anglicised gaze. You could argue that there is diversity within that group but it is still narrow enough that the content posted is pretty repetitive.
https://feddit.cl, https://feddit.org and https://jlai.lu are quite active if you speak the languages
