Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds? (lemm.ee)

The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:

~30 years old or older
tech enthusiasts/workers
linux users

There’s nothing wrong with that particular demographic or anything, but it doesn’t feel like a win to me if the entire fediverse is just one big monoculture.

I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away? Is picking a server/federation too complicated? Or is it that they don’t see any content that they like?

Thoughts?

I think most common people are accustomed to "being fed", rather than exploring for themselves. That's why most of the original platforms were just getting copy pastes from other platforms. Originality requires effort.

I personally have been looking at lemmy thinking what's new... Only to realise that maybe it's time "I" create that new. ~:=~
