real reasons why people DON'T use opensource:
- bugs in apps with no community on irc/discord/matrix/xmpp to ask about (yes, i talk about you @libreoffice )
- assholes in communities if such exist (yes i talk about archlinux and @godot )
- enshittification and slowly going back to not being opensource (yes i talk about @mozilla )
- and if all of the above combined it just creates resistance against opensource

small opensource can do nothing until big opensource does the step…

That sounds frustrating, I can see why you might be discouraged when it feels like nobody cares about your project.

I am not a marketing guru, my projects also have nobody paying attention to them, but I do know that if you want collaboration you usually have to ask for it. Let people know; post about your project and explain your goals and ask people for help. It's never guaranteed that people will see the value in what you're doing, but they probably won't if you make it closed-source either. You're blaming the wrong things here, my friend.

Still, good luck with your project, and good on you for posting it on codeberg, that's a great first step to getting some interest!
