More diversity, More "normies"

Hearing from pooryoungmalegamerleftist#123049781234 saying the same thing as the others isn't thought provoking or constructive. I'd like to see artists, WSB degenerates, football meatheads and everything in between in comments more because like it or not, those people are experts in Something

This is the curse of a small userbase. Lemmy doesn't has a very big userbase and those are primarily the Foss loving Linux leftists, because they decided to actually invest time in this small communities. The normies are at other mainstream social media platforms like Reddit or Instagram.

I feel so called out right now.
