With the recent issues of Tea (teaforwomen.com) posting unsecured user data, it's easy to spot the heavy bias of male users in the comments.
With a 90% male demographic, Lemmy will face problems related to a homogeneous user population and all the issues that come with it. Right now, it's shaping up to be misogynistic, but it could also head into other bad places. Lemmy needs to attract a more diverse population of users or will end up as another echo chamber for the like minded.

https://www.similarweb.com/website/lemmy.ml/#demographicsYou're talking about a specific instance Lemmy.ml which isn't even the biggest instance, but basically a tankie instance.
You should at least bring together the data of the biggest top 10 instances.
I also wonder how that website decides if I'm male or female.

https://www.similarweb.com/website/lemmy.ml/#demographicsLemmy.ml specifically? I doubt if it's representative of Lemmy as a whole.

I believe similarweb tracks web usage of thousands of validated users (i.e. they know their demographic profile) and they extrapolate on a per site basis form there.

If you haven't outright stated female then you're obviously male. Probably even then too because there are no girls on the internet. Duh.

I'd say there's a lot bigger problems with .ml's user base than what that site is looking at too...

Instance block gang represent!
*Throws weird gang-sign nobody has seen before nor since*
EDIT: Downvoted by one admin from each instance I've blocked

.ml is the r/conservative of the left

Women aren't online, duh.
They're really cool allies. You wouldn't understand

Not fair, conservatives show up to vote and therefore get more of their agenda done. Those tankies would leave us all for dead as long as it they keep their perceived purity.

How could that possibly lead to a bias? /s

If you have 10,000+ users that are a representative sample of all internet users (or pretty close), your estimates should be pretty good for popular sites.
Your sample might still be small for lemmy.ml.
