its still the old chicken&egg problem: if you dont have communities you dont have users, and if you dont have users you dont have communities
thats why everyone sticks to discord
Well, you are on Lemmy aren't you
And he's the only one.
We are all Estebiu alts.
Well yeah, cuz there are quite a lot of communities and users already
Social inertia and an extra helping of users hate having to learn things.
Matrix is promising, but I think it still could use a bit more polish. That said, I run a discord community, and soon one of these days I'm going to make a Matrix version of it and encourage users to try it out. Though very few probably will.
