Dont forget to do your part by telling other people not on lemmy to try it. Its content has improved a lot so ask them to try it again if they didnt find communities they liked before. It will help the continued growth :)
My first time using the fediverse was like the first time I used Reddit: I didn’t know what things were and was super confused, but I liked the content. Funny how things came around again.
Off-topic. Your visible username is wild.
I just wish the posts in /all were a bit more varied than just the last unfunny fad.
I blocked meme, 196 and shitposting. All is clean now
All is clean now
Just arrived here because my fav reddit app was cut off. First verdict is: different but usable.
I’m here to stay.
The amount it has improved over the last month since I joined has been insane. It’s a lot more stable, the apps that exist are improving at an insane pace (and many many many more are being created). It’s exciting.
Don’t just ask them to try it. Don’t ask them to research or try to understand. Just give them a link to one of the major Instances, preferably yours, and let them poke around. Give some tips if you want, maybe some subs they can sub to.
Don’t overwhelm normies with passion or knowledge though, they don’t care enough. It’s about using it and figuring it out as you go, for most people. So, just grease that process for them, that’s really the best you can do. Answer questions, give tailored recommendations, stuff like that.
Another hot tip: don’t refer to people as “normies.”
