A meme about Linux and BSD and all those nerdy things on a general meme ~~subreddit~~ community that has more than 500 upvotes (with 1000 being a really high number of votes)? If this post was back on Reddit, say r/Memes, it would probably only get 100. Lemmy needs to somehow diversify its demographics such that less technical don't feel as alienated after joining. (To be clear, this is not a criticism on this post.)

Yeah, and become another reddit? Have you tried not smoking dried turds?

Calm down. All I'm saying is that if the Fediverse wants to succeed and actually beat Reddit, Discord, and Twitter, we need to have more than Linux users (I am too) on our platforms.
