    Sometimes I feel like the only non-tech worker on Lemmy. This place desperately needs more diversity

      That’s a normal consequence of more tech-savvy people leaving Reddit than others. Just gotta wait for spez to mess it up even more and we’ll get a wider variety of people here.

      This is a small niche site after all - logging in requires knowing about its existance - and reddit is very popular, but not in a good way. Even in disagreement, I have not found that level of hostility here. At some point reddit was starting to become a dead weight in my life, incapable of giving me unique informations.

      Encourage your other non-tech friends and colleagues to join a Lemmy instance then. The fediverse hasn’t gotten big enough and normal people haven’t really gotten to the level of technical literacy yet to be able to come here organically yet

      We are here because we are nerds that already care about FOSS.
