We are at most, a few months away from apps with content and sharing mechanisms just not possible on Twitter or other centralized, closed-source platforms. That's when the momentum will really start to build for Activitypub and other protocols supporting federated networks. We have stop talking about it being a twitter "alternative" and start talking about is as an evolutionary step forward in global social networking. Because that's what it is.
When you can get content and engagement here that you cannot get there, that's when we'll shake things up and the old-school twitter model will start to feel stilted and dull.

@shoq I think that because of people and organizations being able to curate their own local instances this will be a lot more common.

I can't wait to see if any momentum comes of the suggestion to allow people to follow another server's entire local timeline. I'd love to be able to follow *@nasa.social for instance.

I'd love to be able to follow @skastodon.com but I don't really want to change to that instance.

No worries! For how, you can just follow the hashtag #ska, and go through our directory to find some good people to follow.

Also, see if your admin wants to set up a relay to Skastodon.
