Better marketing? Not sure…
And given #xmpp can do things like !movim @lemmy.ml, it’s a shame it’s not me widely used.

XMPP rooms a generally limited… but you can use the bridging function to access Matrix rooms, which there are more of ATM

On the backend - Lower resource requirements on a server…
On the frontend - Post reactions (instead of just liking a post), Increased character limits on posts (default is around 5000 characters), can use markdown, BB Code etc formatting
Misskey, Calckey, Pleroma, Mastodon- All perform the same essential function. Microblogging (with minor differences e.g Pleroma has a 5000 word limit per post) Think Twitter.
Pixelfed is an image sharing platform - Think Instagram.
Friendica will give you a similar experience to Facebook (Macroblogging)
None of those platforms have real messaging (Direct messages, but not private or encrypted)
Almost all sites have an RSS feed…
https://rss.com/blog/ as some advice on finding them…
Even a lot of fediverse platforms e.g Mastodon have RSS 👍
The inertia of using the ‘mainstream’ platforms will be one of the hardest things to overcome… If all your friends and family are on platform X, and they’re not coming to platform Y with you… well, it could be a rather boring experience… at least at first…
Using lemmy directly will give you more control over the post and lemmy specific features…
