From an expectations perspective, this is a *really* hard sell.

1) "But I want to be where my friends are" doesn't respond to logic. It's a reaction that is literally bred into us as a species.

2) Bootstrapping your timelines is an inscrutable process when you're not on larger servers. Websites with giant directories of people are intimidating, and small servers with fewer total follows from the server to populate the federated timeline don't provide enough varied content.

I don't think this is true on federated networks.

Do people join a phone provider because their friends are on it?

No, because it makes no difference, because phone networks are federated. You can call people even if you're on different providers.

Your friends aren't "on" another server, you're all on the Fediverse and can interact and follow each other.
