I guess this is mostly due to scuttlebutt still being a cool new tech you would mostly hear about in programmer circles. It’s still not mature enough for your regular facebook people to adopt too. I mean the internals are still running on javascript, which makes it much slower than it could be.
From my own experience with the ssb mainnet there are at least some non-programmer folks, perhaps you just didn’t get a chance to sync with them yet?

Yeah, I figured that was the case going in. That’s my experience with most nascent projects. I just really, really liked the project and wanted to give it a shot and I’m not sorry I did. But yes, I feel it’s still a ways away before non-tech savvy people start joining.
