WARNING To the People of Earth: Teenagers exist. BEWARE
Pretty much yeah, most people assume that no one under 30 is on fedi because its "hard" to use.
What part of the fediverse is "hard" to use?
Lemmy is easier to use than the UBB forum I started to become active on at the age of 10 that was the entry point for me being on the Internet at all. Back then we didn't have Markdown, but BBCode, and I had that figured out after a few weeks.
I think you're way underestimating young people.
Truly hard to use I'd say are hubzilla and its forks. The rest of the Fediverse doesn't require much knowledge and aren't as hard as their userbases pretend they are (they aren't even hard at all)
