  • I don’t know what the implied demographic is, but I assume I am not in it.

    The demographic is people who care more about being free from corporate controlled media than they care about a shiny, polished user experience. (i.e. free open source software [FOSS] enthusiasts) This is necessarily the case because of the relationship between sites like Lemmy and sites like, say Reddit. Reddit is absolutely more polished, but Lemmy is more resistant to enshittifcation.

    Naturally tech nerds are both more aware of the dangers of corporate controlled software and more able to make the switch, so you get a lot of them as your early adopters.

    I suppose that vibe is part of why I don’t feel the desire to venture further into the fediverse.

    I really hope you change your mind. Both because Lemmy definitely feels “further in” than something like mastodon or pixelfed, but also because these sites really do need mainstream adoption in order to compete with the tech giants.
