I won’t lie, I feel like an outcast and I imagine majority of Lemmy are Millennials and Gen-X. The r/GenZ subreddit is mostly garbage but still want find an online community that is for Gen-Z by Gen-Z so I can use less of Reddit if possible. I know, I commited biggest sin on Lemmy for using Reddit.

I’m not sure if I would have the time and energy to make a community from scratch. Mainly just trying to sell the idea of Lemmy to people without sounding pretentious. Also, I did suggested Mastodon to my friends and was disinterested. Not going to lie, it did a hurt a bit as I do feel bit passionate about the Fediverse and I feel weird for being interested which most people in their 20s won’t care and using Instagram or TikTok instead.

    Why do you feel like an outcast?

    I’m asking because you never know how old someone you’re interacting with online is. You could have been talking to people your age all the time. No one knew you were gen z before you said it here. I just feel like age is not really relevant towards feeling like an outcast.

      My experince of the Fediverse in general is that I notice there isn’t as much Gen-Z users and mostly more millennials and Gen-X sorts. Because of it, it feels little awkward talking about stuff I’m interested in as they hadn’t grow up with it and vice versa.

      Then it also majority of them (and to be fair, so is other generation as well) used corporate social media and I have ditched at least most of them so I feel like the black sheep which feels little isolating I won’t lie when trying to not use places like Facebook or Instagram which majority of them use.
