    The problem is building the network. Nobody uses it because nobody uses it and nobody will use it until everybody uses it.

    That has always been and will always be the primary problem. You can solve all of the other problems and it won’t matter.

      It used to be easier to spread the word when there weren’t so many alternatives, to be honest. Right now, I’m not sure how to convince people.

        I disagree. This has been a thing for 20+ years. Facebook started out the same way. So did reddit. That’s one reason the founders of reddit created mulitple accounts to post from at first - to make the network look larger than it was.

        I’ve joined several networks over the years that didn’t pan out. The one I remember from a few years ago was Imzy. Good platform, just didn’t take off.
