I am a pretty heavy “Fediverse user” (Mastodon + Lemmy/Kbin) and my feeds have VERY little Linux talk. There is an incredibly diverse set of folks on the ‘verse but admittedly discoverability is hard. If the only people in your circle are Linux nerds then that’s all that might be boosted into your timeline. Put some effort into finding other folks and unfollow some of the Linux-only voices :-).

I think it's mostly people viewing the "All"/"Community" feeds. Which I feel like you have to do in general as the niche communities haven't really gotten to a self sustaining point where you can check your "Home" feed and not run out of stuff to doom scroll.

Not to mention that if you happened to mention certain things in communities that are tangentially related (Windows/Nintendo/Apple) then it usually starts another off topic discussion on linux/piracy/whatever.

Honestly the linux stuff doesn't bother me as much as every topic seemingly turning into a critique of capitalism.

I'm a huge Linux geek and I rarely see Linux on my feed.

Maybe people aren't used to curate their own feed anymore.

I think a good and easy way to discover new people is to follow hashtags.

I follow couple local pets work-related hobby and urbanism hastags, and I was able to discover new conversation and new people in these space quite quickly.
