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?

    Unfortunately, everyone’s choice of one server will lead to centralization again. Therefore, it is much better to sort at least the top 5 servers and select them randomly in applications by default.

    UPD: In addition, it will distribute the load on several nodes, which will have a good effect on performance.
