Why isn't it so popular compared to mastodon? I just found out about it and it looks pretty mature imo, it's only popular with japanese people.

I think language was probably a major barrier in the earlier days of the project. That, and they also kind of took their own approach to implementing ActivityPub. To my knowledge, they still don't really have any implementation of the Mastodon API, so client support is pretty limited compared to other fedi microblogging platforms.
