I 100% agree here, it feels like a microcosm of Reddit which already leans quite left, but even more radical. I left numerous times on the fediverse due to it’s huge political echo chamber, it’s something really frustrating as the platform is meant to be for everyone but it seems to be mostly populated by one viewpoint and nearly always Americans or Europeans.

Most mainstream platforms do have these sorts of demographics and politics yes, but even they have quite sizeable communities for ethnic, political and religious minorities where they can have their own space. The fediverse doesn’t really have that and it kinda sucks.

I really feel you with the lack of religious talk here, Reddit has tons of it for every major rellgion out there, and Lemmy has… nothing? As a Indian Muslim on here, I’d like to have a space to talk about my beliefs with others, but the Islamic communities on here are all ghost towns. Reddit on the other hand, is very populated with Muslims and has discussions daily on those sub reddits.

I kinda prefer having little activity, it helps me be able to go about my day and not check my phone all the time in case I miss anything
