It's the interface more than the technology.
I'm a new user who's not all that familiar with federated social media. But, I think if this instance looked and acted as much like Reddit as possible, most new users would be barely aware of federation.
I've written it before: instances should be more closely aligned with subreddits.
Currently we basically several Reddits existing side by side, who just happen to use a similar login.
I don't think it needs to look like Reddit in particular, but everything needs to be more seamless and intuitive for mainstream users. As long as everything just works so they don't even need to know what it means to be federated then I think it would attract a lot more people.
You probably would appreciate the various tampermonkey user scripts out on greasyfork then https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts?q=lemmy
