Meta: Can we talk about non "Apple Enthusiasts" dominating the threads on c/apple_enthusiasts? (lemmy.world)

Since a lot of folks sort by “all” on Lemmy, popular posts get overwhelmed by people who don’t daily drive operating systems like iOS or MacOS.

I like outside perspectives and all, but when the majority of the “community” discussion is coming from people who aren’t even using these products, it is pretty hard to have informed conversations.

Moreover, I feel like this type of engagement creates a lot of threads that get pretty combative and catty. They’re often started by people who are trying to argue and convince iOS / MacOS users that they’ve picked the wrong side of the fence.

Anyone else feel me on this? I imagine this is a problem for other communities on Lemmy as well.

Thanks for a good answer. My opinion of the weather app is it’s pretty awesome, however

Does it show you the actual weather, because here in Germany it's wrong most of the time.

Interesting. I’ve used it in UK, Australia and France and have found it by far the most accurate compared with BBC Weather or the Met Office app. If I’m camping and it tells me it’s going to rain in 10 minutes it’s worth listening to

Nah here in Germany it's awful.
