mastodon can't pick up twitter users because it doesn't try to be twitter. Lots of people want the recommendations, virality and discovery of the algorithmic feed, that's what got them hooked in the first place. There is no fediverse equivalent. (That's obviously by design, but I think it's a mistake to think that it can compete. Just like carrots can't compete with sugar.)
