I feel like 75% of Mastodon are people talking about Linux. If you don’t care about Linux you feel alienated. I enjoy Mastodon and Lemmy, but the lack of more diverse subjects gets to me if I browse for too long.
Update: I took your advice and purchased a laptop for Linux, and now I care about it! Problem solved.
Legit, the only time I see Linux stuff on mastodon is from the linux related accounts I follow.
Lemmy though? I’d say it’s a matter of curating your feed. If you want to avoid it, there’s plenty of ways to do so and still have a full feed a few times a day. If you use an app, you can even directly filter linux out and not miss much of anything other than linux posts and comments (depending on the app, not all of them filter as well as others).
Hell, I’m subscribed to most of the linux C/s, and I can’t say that it’s even a quarter of my feed, much less 75%.
