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?

This perfectly illustrates the problem with the Internet as a whole in the age of smartphones.

Your idea of the "first step" is always "open app" but the Internet is not apps. The Internet is servers, and a web browser is the client app for most of it.

Since I know how to use the Internet, it was simple AF to get a Lemmy account going. I went to https://lemmy.world and signed up. Now I'm on Lemmy.

If all you know of the Internet is "open app" on your phone, you have a lot more to learn about the Internet as a whole.

that's a common problem. kids don't know how to use computers because they're so used to using apps.
