Mastodon tried and it's had some moderate success, but because it's completely devoid of algorithms, users have a harder time discovering people/accounts/mindless entertainment. That's the only reason I can think of as to why Bluesky took off so much faster.

I'm sure that's a factor, but I can think of another reason. Decision paralysis when picking instances and frontends has been cited quite often as a substantial hurdle.

Sure, I can definitely see that as an issue for Lemmy especially. I haven't used Mastodon in awhile (microblog format doesn't really appeal to me outside of when I'm looking for sales), but I had thought that the main mobile app defaulted to the biggest instance there. Is that not the case?
