I don’t think its just complexity, its a semi-ghost town if you venture out of the political topics.
I mean, there was never a GoT community, The Expanse Community, Rick and Morty, Squid Game, or like even a GTA community. Inactive communities with 1 post every 3 month doesn’t count.
Like this is really just a place to vent about life, and for general everyday discussions, not for topic-specific discussions.
Maybe part of why Lemmy skews older is because this is basically what “old” Reddit felt like.
Before Reddit became the Walmart of internet forums that put all the little guys out of business and gained enough critical mass to have a niche community for every topic under the sun, it was just a quirky place that catered towards tech, politics, and this exact sort of “general everyday discussion” you’re talking about.
I loved that era of Reddit, and I love that Lemmy is providing something that’s close to that experience.
I wonder how Lemmy and other parts of the fediverse or alternative web like Gemini Protocol would be if it gets adopted by let’s say 1/10 of the world.
I think: pretty much as amazing as the internet in the 90s/early 2000s.
i think lemmy skews older because of the more complicated sign-up process and people being more tech-inclined around here and a bit more mature than the general public. and i love that, btw. less shallow “entertainment” and more memes and especially based arguments about things.

Hey now the green text community is doing well, though I wish we got some of the spicy shit.
