It's funny that this is on AskLemmy and not some linux-specific community. Reinforces the image that Lemmy users are the more computer-savvy people (which I find great!)
And the very same reason why everyone who isn't tech savvy left Lemmy after the first wave... sorry, but that's the cold hard truth.
You don't need to be savvy to use Lemmy. I don't understand how this perception came to be. It's just that the crowd here is somewhat savvy
It didn't use to be like that after the first wave, with comms such as sewing, there were some gardening subs as well... the only one that kinda took off was the woodworking sub, that's it.
I opened a few subs myself, related to tech, but not really computer related, none of them took off, only a few posts at the beginning and that was basically it, no new posts whatsoever.
