I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn't see anything relating to it and I'm kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.

As a late gen x/"xennial" myself I've noticed there's proportionally more of us here than on other social media.

Tends to be left of centre even without factoring in the communistanarchistsocialist nexus, but also wider political range.

Tends to skew STEM.

Loves cats as much as the rest of the internet but proportionally loves FOSS more.

Strong rainbow presence.
