It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

The fact that it’s mainly just a FOSS and Politics forum.
I love what the technology is trying to do but the thing is, the platform’s main selling point being the liberatory potential of it’s technology, is that it’s mainly used by people who are interested in politics and technology.
Ooo… This. I was trying to think of a coherent way to articulate my thoughts on this and you took the words right out of my mouth.
All things considered, Lemmy is a pretty reasonable viable alternative to sites like reddit, and most problems on the site can just be chocked up to normal problems on the internet: your Whataboutism contrarians always inciting arguments, some instances’ servers are more reliable than others, negative posts get more attention than positive ones, niche subs don’t get enough activity to be communities, etc, etc.
But my god. Every single active post these days is about goddamn Linux and issues with the DNC lol
Or about how much people hate AI and cars
I wish there was an easy solution. Maybe I ought to start sharing some random funny images I’ve got on my devices but I don’t think that’s it. I don’t use it anymore but taking a quick scroll through Reddit the sheer variety in contend from multiple communities (Sooo many posts from r/Ultrakill and r/GeometryDash on my feed) make the timeline so so lively; but here…
Good point. The diversity is really non existent.
There is some diversity… it’s just you get harassed for being different and it takes a really tough mentality to ignore it or a really huge block list.
