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.

Mostly just the ratio of news/politics to fun/hobby posts. It’s stuff I could already find on any other news platform or social media, and there’s seldom discourse about the topics. It’s often just negativity or some type of leftist gatekeeping. I’d rather just go to the AP news page and read it there.
I like seeing everyone’s art, woodworking, 3D prints, origami, nature photos, and all that other good stuff way more. I like learning about you guys and your interests and I think having a small platform allows that, but many of us either forgot how to share things online or are too you to have ever been a part of mailing lists or IRC and the like.
I appreciate your owl posts, Anon! 🦉 💖🌛
And I appreciate you reading them! 🦉❤️
I use mastodon and pixelfed to share that stuff but I should start posting here.
I’d be glad to see it!
Also thinking about it more, it would be cool to see more people write posts on how to get into hobbies, cool beginner projects that are maybe below the poster’s skill level but would make good first projects for people, or instructable type posts. Things anyone could do with little to no experience.
I really like how the origami community was doing theme weeks where we could share different animals we attempted.
I just started making different accounts for different things. This is my general account for everything I care for. But when I’m tired of news I have one for more fun things. And other accounts for more specific interests.
I wish Lemmy would let me de prioritize new, but not entirely get rid of it. But I guess multi communities when that comes out wil fix my need for multiple accounts.
I need to use my Subscribed feed more. I’ve been doing All - Top 6 Hour since I’m pretty active, but lately I feel I’m missing a decent bit of what I want to see.
