Trying to promote Mastodon, and taking some inspiration from mainstream social media.
A lot of companies / businesses / people have something like
"find us on Facebook, then the Fb Logo we need something similar on here.
So rather than having Find us on Mastodon, perhaps we should use Locate is on Mastodon. followed by that users fed id
@user@name.social type thing.
We need to be similar but not the same if that makes sense.
@piggo Indeed, I am trying to find a way or come up with something that addresses that
one of the big things on mainstream is FOMO or Fear Of Missing Out. What sort of needs to happen here is people need to perhaps be made to feel they are missing out on something (which in a way they are)
I have a 2nd idea which I will also post about.
@piggo If we can make people curious about one aspect of fedi, they may go further. so Mastodon may lead them to peertube for example either through asking about posting videos or seeing an embedded peertube video.
@FailForward @piggo Yes, but won't that imply we are one entity ?
Yeah in a way it is a challenge to sign up so getting past that is like a test of how serious you are about being here.
I think itis more if people give up before they have even signed up. Once you sign up you get past. You need to want to keep going so you DO sign up and make that first post etc.
@FailForward @piggo I agree with @aral idea that things need to be very easy to get started, a single click and form like facebook is.
