I get what you mean, but ultimately I think the services are just different, regardless of protocol. It's (kinda sorta) like going back several years and saying "Twitter has a bunch of users but Reddit doesn't, why is that when both are on http?"
Even something like, Lemmy and Mastodon - I use both, but not because they can talk to each other over AP. I want different stuff out of Twitter-likes and Reddit-likes. I like the decentralization of providers, but don't care much to have different types of apps intercommunicate.
Bluesky really caught on, mostly by starting out with the simplicity of a single, centralized service (also having a bunch of VC money). But that doesn't mean much imo for other things on ATproto.
So that's to say, I think the real question is just why Lemmy has done better than Nooki. And for that I think it's all down to timing tbh. Lemmy was already here when Reddit started degradifying a lot.
I hadn't heard of Nooki. Has it been good in your experience?
It's been fine aside from being completely dead.
