Lemmy is also nerdy as fuck. Half of what is on here is Linux/selfhosting/AI tech bro nonsense. The average person has no interest in niche tech subs.
My dude, what do you think reddit was, before it was Eternal September'd?
There were a lot more bio, history, and astrology nerds, too.
Perhaps that's the crowd we should attract next. I'd read their posts
I have been on Reddit for a long long time.
Niche subreddits were the only worthwhile thing there. Lemmy completley superseded it in terms of FOSS. Other niches can follow.
I don’t disagree with you. Only time will tell if it will ever actually take off.
In my experience if you start a niche community and tend to it then people will eventually come and start filling it. Not as much as on the mainstreams but still enough.
Isnt that the usual initial userbase? Your average person probably doesn't go around trying new platforms.
