I hope it will be different with Lemmy (it won’t) but on Mastodon I see very specific type of users, mostly activists and hackers. There are no normies at all.

I hope it will be different with Lemmy (it won’t) but on Mastodon I see very specific type of users, mostly activists and hackers. There are no normies at all. No Kpop stans. No football fans. No gamers arguing which console is the best etc. I follow /r/soccer which has not just the userbase but people posting goals in _real time_ a lot of times even before happened on your regular broadcast. There is no replacement for that.

You're probsnly stuck in a buble. Maybe you just don't know how to find other people. Discovery is a problem. Follow hashtags. There are a ton of serious scientists and other academics. https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon
