Flowpath to have a Lemmy account for complete Newb
Start sharing lemmy posts with them. Don’t tell them to join up. Just like the best way to get someone to listen to a song is just yo play it when they are around, rather then telling them to listen to it.
Share something useful from Lemmy with someone not on Lemmy, when that something does not also contain toxic negativity or vitriol, but is positive, inclusive, and cordial.

What do you mean? It’s just like signing up for an email account, and you get access to a forum like experience. Same thing for any other fedi app but the UI looks like something else.
- Give me a numbered bullet most concise path to do that
- thanks In advance
There’s no easy or hard way, if they are willing to join they will.
Why are you in Lemmy? Explain your reasons to them and why you decided to join and hopefully they understand and join too, that’s all you can do. Forcing people into the Fediverse won’t make them use it of they don’t believe in it.
I honestly was fucking pissed at Reddit for destroying Apollo so I read a headline about a burgeoning alternative that was fundamentally different in spirit if not in letter from Reddit
Yup indeed!
I think talking openly about the issues to people and explaining there are better ways that exist is the way to go. If they are in with the idea entering the Fediverse is a no brainer.
For me it’s crazy how many public institutions are on private social medias and not open ones where they can set their own server and rules. It’s also crazy how social norms have been decided by the top private companies in the world, if that’s not a distopian I don’t know what is it.
