Trust me we’ve done a good enough job of that on our own lol. I mean I love it here, but everyone I’ve shown this concept to is immediately confused and intimidated. Maybe it’s still early days, but it’s difficult for me to imagine this ever catching on outside of niche tech circles.
We need a homepage or something that lets you very easy register an account (maybe with a randomly selected large instance?) and sub you to some default communities. Something that someone can follow the instructions for for 1 minute instead of the 8 or 10 minutes it took me.
Colonise? Lol. I’m pretty sure meta doesn’t care that much about us.

Lmao I don’t think they’re ever worried about that. The fedi isn’t exactly new. Not to mention the mastodon community isn’t exactly gen z influencers.

All while they’re the alternative to this platform.
