Welcome!
Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.
And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ค๐

I think conceptually to us that works, but it really doesn't work for the average person.
Partly because you get "if it's like email, why not just use email?". Most people don't understand how email even works, that it's a kind of federated system, that their account resides with a certain provider/host, etc.
People were starting to get it in the late 90's/early 2000's, but then Yahoo/Google happened, then smartphones.
And kids who grew up with smartphones often really don't get how things work, because their experience is with a capability-limited device where that stuff is even more obfuscated.
At best, average people think in terms of an app, and are utterly uninterested in any behind-the-scenes stuff. And to them, picking an instance is behind-the-scenes. "Why do I have to do any of this?" I mean getting people to create an account and track passwords is hard enough.
In my circle people understand emails, and they aren't easily stupified by smallest things and don't rage quit on encountering first unknown word. I have no idea how people think and don't really want to. Blog post insists on corporate metrics for conversions and whatever for registration flows, you on kids not getting simple concepts.
Fedi grows in organic ways and isn't an interesting place for everyone and that's fine.
