I’ll throw in a few reasons

-Learning curve is huge compared to other social media

-As soon as an instance gets a large audience hosting costs skyrocket and moderation ability plummets

-The same instance can exist on multiple servers causing the demographic to be split

-Pr0n instances have to take the colossal risk of hosting malicious material that can send them to jail because the data is hosted on their own server

The sad thing is, is not really that more complicated, it's just got a bumpy on-ramp. join-lemmy.org is a lot better than it used to be, but it's still got this anxiety-producing step where you have to select a home server.
