I feel like 75% of Mastodon are people talking about Linux. If you don’t care about Linux you feel alienated. I enjoy Mastodon and Lemmy, but the lack of more diverse subjects gets to me if I browse for too long.
Update: I took your advice and purchased a laptop for Linux, and now I care about it! Problem solved.
What other federated platforms do you look into? Most of the the reddit communities I use to be a part of are super tiny on lemmy.
There’s Pixelfed which is a fediverse alternative to Instagram, but I don’t use it currently as I don’t share my photography online as LCP.
Peertube is a YouTube alternative but I’m not using that currently as well.
Other than them, there are other fediverse platforms that are basically Mastodon-like or Lemmy-like.
Things are fairly wonky right now, but I believe with time, effort and funding many if not all of the fediverse’s issues can be resolved.
Which Lemmy communities are you a part of that are currently tiny? I can lend a hand in posting/commenting there and keeping them active.
