If so consider a post to the Fedimigration community (!growthefediverse@slrpnk.net). There you’ll find resources and assistance to help people get onboarded.

    Most of my friends aren’t technically inclined. Until the onboarding process is greatly simplified I can’t really recommend it.

      Its just so hard to sign up for a website.
      I’m surprised there’s anyone here at all!

    My corner of the internet is the fediverse mostly as others said.

    My real life corner has moved to Bluesky from Twitter which isn’t great but an improvement. I do have to say I prefer the way Bluesky allows you to make feeds and share them over Mastodon discoverability quite a lot.

    The move away from meta is slowly starting. Facebook is a thing anymore. But Instagram still has people struggling to move away (as does WhatsApp but signal works similar enough that I get people to slowly move over). It’s not open source but miles better than Zuckerberg.

    But Pixelfed just isn’t a thing most people know about it seems. Same with lemmy. So reddit is still used a lot or quit without replacement because everyone hates the app experience around here.

    Pixelfed also isn’t my thing but then I never used Instagram or TikTok either.

      You’d be surprised. I’ve had several people reach out unprompted and specifically ask about it

        That’s great to hear.

        In my real life bubble Noone has heard of it.

    I don’t use any closed source or centralised social media any more but I speak to people in real life about the Fediverse and share links to fediverse posts with my friends and family.

        Yeah good - everyone is really positive about it when I tell them.

        I’m not sure how many of them end up using the fediverse based on our conversation but I think broader and more important cultural changes are built on slow but widespread indications of shifting values; I think conversations about what the fediverse stands for is actually more important than people using it.
