Why are there no people to play with in minecraft ps3?

The way Minecraft multiplayer is set up, you can only play with friends. There's no public matchmaking.

Exactly there are no public games now because like Opurt said but the thing is there was a public thing on x box for a while but it soon got removed because people were hacking lobby's and stuff so that is also why it is not available also if you could email me or send me a message on ps3 email rickystheman24@gmail.com
and ps3 is rickystheman24 i'm looking for people to play with send me a message if you get this response thanks
