What is missing from the fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

I think the idea of federated social media itself would have made fediverse sky rocket itself. bloggers tooters and video creators or any kind of internet user can connect with eachother here. but that hasn't happened. not at least yet. so why?

what are the problems. or what things are missing on the fediverse that makes it still so unpopular?

The type of content available is a bit narrow indeed, but I don't see how it would appear as a "ghost town". Lots of activity on the Fediverse.

When I talk to "normal" people about alternative services like the Fediverse, I mostly get "huh? never heard of it" coupled with a mostly implied "ah ok, just another website, why should I care?" kind of attitude. And for that there really isn't a quick fix, it will just take time.
