Out of curiosity, why do you guys think the Fediverse is still not taking off? (lemmy.ml)

I've thought about it a bit and the Fediverse has been around for a while now. There are some really cool applications being made to replace the mainstream ones, but they just aren't taking off.

Why do you guys think that might be? Ease of use? Addiction to the mainstream platforms? Lack of marketing?

That could be ready to fix. Signing up could be changed to take <10 seconds, and not so many choices.

Could you explain a little more on that? Do you mean all of the main instances of each platform could just say that they are the main platform and later educate people on the whole pods/instances thing?

On signing up, I remember going through several pages, choosing which communities to join. It took time and was off-putting.

It could be changed sign everyone up with some default ones, or with none.
