I’ve noticed that technology discussion is more commonplace on Lemmy than I remember from Reddit.
In what other ways might our demographics be different than Reddit and from other sites?
I’ve noticed lemmy seems to be far more left leaning than reddit
And Reddit is already pretty left leaning, on the whole.
You’d have to qualify that statement…. Left leaning according to which countries’ politics?
In the states for example, the democrat politicians are actually right of center.
If you are calling right of center, “left leaning” then I could possibly agree with you. But I don’t think you are saying what you think you’re saying.
I’d expect Lemmy to be a little older on average since a big chunk of the userbase is made up of people that had used reddit since the early days and want to recapture that, that demography also tended to be even more dominantly male, techy and political than the average redditor
I expect it’s pretty close to the same demographic as early Reddit, left-leaning technologists. The Reddit dickery has given it a smattering of “everyone else” as they’ve been migrating away from Reddit.
It’s smaller so while the general communities feel more niche and welcoming, the smaller communities I was a part of are just non-existent.
I’m trying to take a “if you build it, they will come” attitude, but I’m not a very creative person so I tend to just repost stuff friends send me on insta.
