What kind of network is Lemmy looking to be? (leminal.space)

I just joined Lemmy and so far I'm enjoying it. It's a little bit sparse in terms of content and users, but I think it has a really cool structure, and it feels more human than certain other social media sites.

I'm curious to know what users think about who is welcome here. Do you think it should be gates open, everyone including your aunt should join, or is it more exclusive to people interested in the fediverse as a starting point? Or something else?

Not trying to stir up shit, just genuinely curious about what the vibe is and where the community thinks it is or should be going.

If we're talking about what the vibe is? To me there's a baseline level of tech savvy or awareness to know about Lemmy, let alone use it consistently

The result is self selecting among the people who stay here. Lots of nice, unassuming folks, and just enough loud jerks who make FOSS/Linux/Programming their whole personality to sour the experience.

I would like to see it as a real reddit alternative, to talk about things that appeal more broadly or to non tech niches
