I still don’t feel comfortable here. Lemmy feels too much like an echochamber of the same opinions. The lack of diversity makes me feel more comfortable on tumblr than Lemmy at the moment.
It’s frustrating when I do need to check Reddit for any niche things. I love forums, but find chatrooms like Discord anxiety inducing. Sometimes the only forum for a niche topic is a subreddit :/
This sounds likely. I’d have to imagine at that stage of life the very concept of learning how to learn something for the first time is monumental.

I imagine it also has to do with establishing and reinforcing the concept that “things make noises and so can you”
