Maybe, but I’m not sure what would cause that. Maybe there’s a strong correlation between privacy minded people and financial stability? Or maybe lemmy mostly appeals to “older” people (i.e. already established in their careers)?
But surely a community named “personal finance” would self select for people who are looking for discussion about their own finances.
We could go a few directions with this, such as:
personal finance power users - things like churning, early retirement, and tax minimization
investing heavy - discuss options on sector indices and other macro level investing strategies
personal advice - “I’m up to my eyeballs in debt, help fix this!”; we haven’t gotten any of that yet, but maybe it’s because we don’t have the trust of the community yet
I’m leaning toward a mix of 1&3, but maybe people are more interested in 1&2. I’m still trying to feel that out, and maybe I’ll post a poll at some point.
