Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

  Little awareness

  I think there are more reasons, but the most prominent ones are

  1. the fediverse is not that aggressively publicized
  2. if by any luck your average bob joins, he’ll be confused because a) the UI/UX is less appealing b) he doesn’t know where to go and what’s the difference between Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy etc.

    For sure.

    doesn’t know where to go and what’s the difference between Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy etc.

    They also know the difference between Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit. Why shouldn’t they get it here?

      No idea, but I tried invited some my friends who are not tech-aficionados — they couldn’t understand it.

      I’d love to see more money thrown on Ads for promoting the fediverse on YouTube, Twitch and all other platforms and get this shit more viral, but I don’t understand why it’s not happening

        but I don’t understand why it’s not happening.

        Because there is not much money to make in the process. I think we need to lobby politicians to step in.
