Puxelfed and peertube offer something that most people are looking for while lemmy does not. To whit instagram and youtube are bigger than reddit.
Lemmy has some unique issues beyond that, it's developed by and for tankies and it shows. I wouldn't blame anyone for looking at any even vaguely political community on .ml (effectively the flagship instance run by the devs) and just going straight back to Reddit.
I recall my first account was before anyone defederated from hexbear and the sheer amount of poorly educated techbrah takes on Marx/leftism was shocking.

That's ridiculous. There's no such thing as politics free social media
100% of the people that I've mentioned Lemmy to have done exactly this, followed by expressing distress at ME that I would even mention Lemmy to them in the first place! Unbeknownst to me (bc I chose to forget), I had invited them to a Nazi bar. I may sit here over in my quiet corner and block all of that out, but it is what it is at the end of the day, especially to a newcomer.
I believe Mbin does a better job of Federating than Lemmy (U can follow PeerTube accounts in Lemmy)
