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?

It could even be done by adding lemmy support to slide, similarly to how NewPipe supports peertube alongside Youtube.

Though by doing that we may lose lemmy having its own distinctive style.

If Slide devs are open to it, then it's probably a good option. It would still be possible to make other apps in the future, and Slide already has its own style that's not Reddit branded which is a plus.
