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.
