I think the app is the important part, building the best backend doesn’t help you if you don’t have any decent apps for iOS and Android.
That’s the problem that most new social networks have. I’m not using Mastodon because there’s no good looking iOS app. If Tweetbot would ship an app that works with Mastodon I would probably use it. Back when App.net was around some famous Twitter apps did just that but I think they got burned because it never took off and now nobody is doing it again until it’s more established.
