The appeal to join a social network is broadly the same for both men and women, human interaction.
As more people join lemmy, communities will become more active, drivibg more traffic.
For now, the biggest barrier to entry is how technical the concept is, having to explain how the federation works and how to interact with it, how to find communities, how to block communities and servers.
Compare that with how reddit did it, you join a simple site, find subreddits and quickly start posting.
On lemmy you not only need to find (and in some cases create) a community, but you need to find the right community on the right server.
Going to redheads on one server may be a community about hair care and styling of red hair, but on a different server it is just porn.
This sometimes confusing nature of Lemmy is good for redundancy and information preservation, but bad for finding the right community to post in.
