The fediverse is a return to something bigger, not something new. An influx of users will hopefully help things get to where they should be.
Email never went away, but for some reason has been the only federated protocol with real staying power so far.
The plethora of fully fleshed out apps in the next few weeks, and the ability to have instances that operate independently from the main ones will insure at least a significant popularity imo.
