Lets get Promoting!
I asked on social hub if I could use this and we can, so I have included here a link to the post, which as both png and svg versions,
Suggested Hashtag is

If people click on the graphic it will go to https://torresjrjr.com/archive/2020-07-19-guide-to-the-fediverse which is by @torresjrjr
Hope this helps people promote.
#YearOfTheFediverse sounds great to me! The same blog also gives a condensed explanation [here](https://torresjrjr.com/archive/2020-07-20-what-is-the-fediverse).
However I think the biggest obstacle for people isn’t **grokking** the concept of a twitter competitor but rather **discovery** of an instance to get started on. Or even better, an account they want to follow or a conversation they want to participate in right away.
And, in the same way that a single **global** instance can’t make the **Fedi**verse, probably no single **global** listing of instances will provide the answer. However, even among my own local experience with cool instances, accounts, and posts; I don’t really have any way to organize them other than a giant blob and I can’t really find appropriate ones to evangelize to people when the opportunity arises.
Good point, starting a conversation is pretty easy, having people engage means they need to find that conversation,
I sometimes add 'chat further on the Fediverse,' to blog posts and provide a link to my profile page,
Or provide a link to another profile where I am linking to their resources I like the fediverse explanation by @torresjrjr for example
It depends what people are interested in, I guess,
