I mean have they seen how good Ice Cubes and Mlem look? How can they choose the default Twitter and Reddit apps over those masterpieces.

As a non tech expert, in my view, the biggest concern for the fediverse to grow, presently, is how difficult it can be to sign up.

Go to a instance listing, try and choose one, signup... all of this should be acessible but mostly invisible for the average user. The user should only be questioned what sort of content they mostly intend to browse, have a NSFW explicit option, perhaps a server location preference, and that should be it.

Beneath the hood, this process should trigger a call to the network requesting a user slot for any server that could cater to that generic profile the prospect user filled. Even bans should be handled differently, in my opinion.

Imagine to go over all that... To end up on .ml

You're 100% on point. From first attempt to getting my final account it took me a few weeks. Had an instance close down days after joining, another blocking communities I was interested, sign up denied...

In fucking reddit you don't even need a real email

Another contributing factor is that Lemmy & Mastodon "care about privacy". Odd, in my opinion, for a public social network.

Their interpretation of that is that they don't send referer headers. So to any site receiving Lemmy traffic, we're invisible.

The fediverse is like a cafe with an unusual menu and interesting conversations. Most social media is like a McDonald's in Altoona PA.

I wish most people were more interested in learning. But ive settled for people being entertaining at best due to that disinterest.

Which one is Ice Cubes? First time I hear about it

It is an IOS client for mastodon that uses a glassy design aesthetic.
