It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

    Probably the lack of diversity among instances.

    Everyone is still afraid of defederation, so we don’t truly embrace what the fediverse is capable of.

      How does this work? Does a community not individual choose who they are federated with? You format your comment like there’s a central body controlling federation.

        Actual diversity. Lemmy is dominated by (hard) leftist activists, who use Linux, love to argue, and have some kind of mental disorder, atheist, and no „touch grass“ life. They are from Europe, likely Germany or the US. There are practically no users from Eastern Europe, Latin America, Middle East, Asia, and Africa. It‘s filled with Westerners hating the West, who pretend to speak for those who aren’t even here and make zero effort to get them here. Religion or spirituality is no topic either. Gender I don’t know, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the number of trans women is about the same here as cis women.

          Yeah, as one of the few Eastern Europeans here, seeing Westerners spreading straight up Soviet propaganda all the time gets really tiring.
