For several years I’ve been using Pleroma as my main social plataform along with Lemmy. Switching to Pleroma for new users is more difficult than it seems:
Minimalistic UI that might confuse people in some ways (maybe people might interpret the look as an old site from the early 2000s).
Many instances with controversial content: NSFW, Lollicon/Shotacon/Hentai, Shitposting, Politics (especially alt right), etc.
Lack of moderation (related to the previous point).
More instances for personal/private use than focused on growing a community.
Pleroma has many features (eg Gopher support) that I recommend it for experienced/advanced users, people who know exactly what they want. Not for those who want a “simple twitter/facebook replacement”.
