In terms of social media, it comes down to content. I know every time I've joined something was because there was enough content that I wanted to look at for me to do daily. Right now, lots of fediverse stuff is about FOSS and tech, which a vast majority of people don't care too much about. But it is slowly starting to spread, nd facilitating those groups by contributing and allowing to grow will do wonders.
I'd also say if you have friends somewhere, you follow them there. I know that was me for all my mainstream social media joining (other than tumblr, that I got my friends to join and I joined because of the content I found).
But seriously, like the others have said, it's really taking off and you know its true by how many alternatives there are! Almost every mainstream social network has a fedialt, which, if it wasn't as popular, wouldn't exist yet!
