@rglullis@communick.news I think is far more complex than that, but this:

In other worlds, does this mean that the only reason that the Fediverse is small is because it is not as addictive as the other social networks?

may be kinda true. Just think about how much time you spend on Instagram (if you use it) by actually talking/socialising vs how much time you just consume passively contents and ads. Chances are that the Fediverse is where most of your actual interactions take place. In this sense I really liked your comparison with unhealty food, however if quitting bad food habits means usually to improve your life, quitting social networks often means to cut relations to communities you may heavily rely on, especially if you are a memeber of a marginalised community. There is a whole history about black community trying Mastodon during the Twitter migration and mostly ditching it because the platform wasn't so welcoming after all but mostly because the black community sticking to Twitter was just too important. Is only an example that shows that communities tend to stick together and move away mostly for cultural and historical reasons.

So as Gollum loved and hated the ring, communities hate and love their platforms, but most of all they love density. I think the Fediverse have a chance only if we stop using the commercial platforms as a paradigm and even if many users ditch the Fediverse after the first try, the most motivated of them choose to stay because the genuinely like it, and they may be enohght to form a dense enought user base that can motivate communities to form and stick here

@actionjbone@sh.itjust.works If I stick to the Porlex the tall could be my next step. The Mini is handy until you need to brew two cups or a liter of cold brew 🙃

@Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works Actually I literally just did it after tasting a V60 coffee in a local cafe. I got a 150g bag of the same coffee (a really good Colombian) and I managed to obtain a cup almost as good as the one they served me, even if I'm using a stovetop kettle without termometer.
However my main doubt is about the setting of the grinder, mainly because I can calculate how many steps it needs to obtain a theorically correct size of the ground, however I mostly end up looking for instructions online and finding the right setting by trying

@rglullis@communick.news tbh we shouldn't expect the adoption curve of any Fediverse software to be somewhat similar to the ones of centralised social networks, since Fediverse completely misses the commercial aspect that encourage key users to stay in the platform easing communities to stick to it as well. My guess is that without the action of commercial dynamics, the situation wouldn't be so different from the jumps-and-losses moments we're used to
