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.

This is like an echo champer of tech people, hard to find non-tech aware people here.
That was reddit when it first started it just takes time the problem is reddit people want to speed run this and created a bunch of communities then abandoned them or filled them with AI Slop. Only making it harder for stuff to grow organically. I do wish Lemmy and Piefed had a network global name space for communities like how IRC does channels.
It takes more than just that, though. Reddit’s UI and mod tools are more powerful, and the Fediverse as both a concept and a practical entity are more demanding and trickier to understand and use.
Agree. I like tech and I’m subscribed to tech communities. But not a whole lot other than that here.
We’re here, we’re just self-aware enough not to make it too obvious. I just don’t even interact with half the content in all because I have no fucking clue what a “distro” is, is it like a mix between a disco and a bistro? Sounds fucking awesome actually, I’m in.
Skip the “all” feed. It’s not interesting to me either, even though I’m familiar with distros and such. I just read the “subscribed” where I’ll find stuff I care about.
There’s just not enough content. I come here to doom-scroll and troll trolls, it’s much harder to do that when most of the communities I’m actually interested in are nearly inactive or don’t exist at all.
Yeah, that’s a real problem. All the really interesting special communities get like 1 post a week at most.
