I fit none of your 3 categories! But I would say with the slightly less convenient joining process compared to most social media, the Fediverse is going to have to built up by people willing to take that burden, at least at first

Check. Check. And check.
The fediverse is mostly full of FOSS enthusiasts, which happens to heavily include linux users.
That's what attracted me to the fediverse in the first place, all the linux people.
The old people are people who grew up before Facebook and corporate social media, as such have no loyalty to said platforms.

try to be patient and and just participate in the community.
the apps for lemmy are going to be the biggest help in growing the community right now.
