A lot of people simply don't realize that a lot of traditional community, especially more niche are moving to Facebook. There's no even Reddit alternative for them.

From fried chicken cooking, big tree photography, McDonalds toys collector, to local history archiver.

It's harder to convince them here, unless there are Facebook Group alternative for fediverse.

Isn't there anything in friendica or diaspora like that?

The Friendica UI is terrible, unfortunately. Way too complex.

What should be changed in your opinion to make it easier to use?

Not as comprehensive as Facebook Groups.

Facebook strength is having big community from Asia and Africa. While fediverse is mostly Westerner (and isolated Japanese). Unless people from those continents move here in huge wave, I don't think Facebook will get replaced.

Mastodon is not valid recommendation for them, as these people doesn't even use Twitter or even hates them.

yuck facebook, ive seen people who cant handle criticism move there, because they can delete or have control of thier discussion at will, without getting reported themselves.

Any social media technically host the same variation of people. It can be good or bad depends of your social circle and what kind of people you follow. Even fediverse has its own bubble of hostile people.
