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 honestly consider that to be a feature, not a bug.

Reddit, Facebook, Twitter etc. all started out great, then grew so large that they lost all their magic.

Why should we try to speed run that process with the Fediverse?
