There’s nothing wrong with that particular demographic or anything, but it doesn’t feel like a win to me if the entire fediverse is just one big monoculture.

I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away? Is picking a server/federation too complicated? Or is it that they don’t see any content that they like?

Thoughts?

Sure can! It's a bit involved and there are security considerations to take into account. Those who deploy their own instance have to make sure the underlying services are well-configured and patched. This happened yesterday, for instance. Hard to know the exact scope of the compromise, but in bad circumstances it could have compromised everyone's credentials who has registered on lemmy.world. I've no reason to believe that's the case....just saying it's a thing.
