How do the demographics of Lemmy differ from those of Reddit? - Lemmy.world

I’ve noticed that technology discussion is more commonplace on Lemmy than I remember from Reddit. In what other ways might our demographics be different than Reddit and from other sites?

It doesn’t help that the devs unironically refer to themselves as tankies.

I mean, it’s not a huge deal because, y’know, it’s a federated service - but you could probably partially attribute the early population’s leanings to that.
