Agreed. Foss, privacy, Linux. Topics that are too high a proportion of all Lemmy posts.

Yes, reading Lemmy you’d think Linux has a 90% market share.

Outside of amd64 desktops it kind of does.

I mean, Lemmy itself is FOSS, and the vast majority of instances are running on Linux. The main reason I am here and not on Reddit is that Lemmy is FOSS.

Lemmy wasn't specifically built for being primarily a platform for discussing the things it was built on. It makes sense there's a nice lively community for all of those topics, but they are so out of whack proportion wise with the types of content I want to see.
