How to increase engagement of cis women on Lemmy?
lemmy.ml
In a poll on hexbear (see link), it was observed that there are very few cis women on Lemmy. I think this is the intersection of several problems:
- engagement of women on Reddit was always low
- fewer women in computer science
- I'm hesitant to recommend anything fediversy to people who don't tinker with computers like I do and thus might need a more handholdy UX.
I gather that transgender people tend to be more into CS, though I don't see why that explains entirely such an astonishing presence of the transgender community on Hexbear.
Anyway, I just thought I'd open the floor to brainstorming.

If you're browsing 'all' without any filters there's still a good portion of porn and porn-like content that's objectfying and thus probably repelling women.
I forgot about that side of lemmy lol. Good point.
Nsfw has to be enabled in our account for that, right?
Anime art stuff does appear, that maybe sort-of nsfw.
