I feel like that's more true for other reddit / social media alternatives as there's no "pull" factors. They're often set up just like reddit as a for profit centralized platform, so the only reason you'd join is if you got pushed off the main platform, ie trump going to truth social after he got banned.

Lemmy and the fediverse offer pull factors in that it is decentralized, open source, and not for profit usually run by hobbyists, which appeals to Linux nerds, anarchists, socialists, communists etc. Who may be pulled to the platform even if they haven't been kicked off the main central platform.
