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?

The inertia of using the 'mainstream' platforms will be one of the hardest things to overcome.. If all your friends and family are on platform X, and they're not coming to platform Y with you... well, it could be a rather boring experience... at least at first..
