@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

More content. More diverse content. And more diverse users.

There really isn't a lot of posts. A significant portion of posts are from bots. Similarly, there aren't many comments.

It feels like most content is doomer news, politics, Linux, Star Trek, programming, or gaming related. And that's my jam. But it gets old after a while.

And of course it would help to have more diverse users. I know we aren't all the same, but Lemmy has a lot of software developers and left leaning folks with post secondary degrees.

Yeah, I get what you mean. It would be good to get more niche communities involved. It's good to see like-minded people, but it's always good for someone to have another opinion that can back up their views with facts.
