Curious what you all thought for what things like Lemmy, Revolt, Mastodon, PeerTube, Bluesky, Flashes, etc would need to be able to grow fast and well to get many users joining up

Because it’s high time everyone drops all the way less than ideal platforms/apps/websites/news sources

I’ll add on too:

Content creators that are engaging, clear, & entertaining explaining things with great videos showing Fediverse, etc stuff will help in various ways

    The fediverse is never going to grow to anything other than a tiny niche if it isn’t immediately understandable to people who have 0 background in tech.

    What is Lemmy in one sentence?

    Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit, you can visit https://phtn.app/ to have a look at the content, and install an app using https://vger.app/settings/install.

      So phtn.app and vger.app are things you’ve said out loud to another human are they? And how did that go?

        Pretty good actually

        They appreciated having a real alternative to apps that are turning out way less than ideal

        They said they were having trouble learning about different aspects of it but will learn it overtime

        My thoughts:

        There is probably real power in just letting others be empowered by a better app, & letting them learn the ropes and what it is as they use it

        The greatest teacher for anything is knowing the bare essentials, & then doing it no?
