As long as the fediverse has a barrier to entry for most people of mandating choosing a server first, it will never become the mainstream choice.
Yeah, most people wants an easy migration. If the interface was nearly identical to Twitter, there'd be a flood.
Misskey has a more similar UI to Twitter, and it can't even get noticed by fediverse users.
In what regards what normies would use of the featureset, they are identical tho - pretty much everything is identical these days. Log in, go to your timeline / flood / jeep / whatever, click "post new", copy-paste a meme, hit toot / blarg / weep / whatever. There. Done.
99% of people use the exact same 1% of the features of a service.
