Very few women
I’m not convinced of that. I know more female users of Lemmy in real life than I know male users, and I’ve seen other women on here plenty.
I think some people are assuming that all the Linux nerds are men, when there are a fair number of women in there who just aren’t identifying their gender in a post about ProxMox.
I just miss some of the niche female-centric subs from Reddit. Like the Lemmy communities for beauty-related topic only have 1-2 posts in them. I don't think we have a critical mass of women to sustain such communities, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
(I use Arch btw - but I also wear makeup and get my nails done.)
Give it some time. Reddit didn’t start off with those communities either. It took them years to build to a point that there were active communities for everything.
I’ve been encouraged by how similar this place has seemed to when I first encountered Reddit way back in the dark ages. I still think it is likely to grow to similar levels of diversity with the added bonus of being decentralized so it can’t get morphed into an AI training company like Reddit has.
Rome wasn’t built in a day and a garden isn’t grown overnight. Keep posting in the communities you love. If you build it, they will come…eventually.
Idk i might be a women. All these other dudes could be women as well. Why does it matter anyways.

I don't really care about the gender of commenters on here as they are literally just walls of text and nothing more to me anyway.
Very few women => discussions relevant to women are sparse => I have to go to other non-lemmy communities for such discussions
True ig, but if you also post the stuff on here then it'll be all the more reason for other women to come here 🤷
