Yeah, to get regular folks (like, even the nerdy ones for the most part) you have to just drop the jargon entirely. It’s social media / community building, don’t talk about it like a grad school coding project.
Hiding out from corporate centralized social media - here to talk about the things I like, including but not limited to:
Cigars [owner @Tobacconist] // Videogames // Camping & Backpacking // Cycling // Tech // Cameras // Movies // Working in the film industry [camera department] // Plants // Birds // Comedy // Music // Television // Art

I say we go a step further and make sure to at least mention Reddit in EVERY post so the web indexers start bringing up these threads when people search “blah blah blah reddit” because Google is terrible without adding reddit to the end of a search string.
Loving it - federation is great, hardly ever even know which instance I’m interacting with from kbin, which is a good thing as it means the federation is working and mostly seamless. Can’t wait for some apps to come out and streamline the experience, hopefully some more people will start coming here to populate a lot of the communities that I’d like to participate or lurk in. Right now there’s a lot of… uh… shouting into the void trying to fill the space. I’m posting way more than I ever did on reddit just because like… somebody has to do it, right?

Another vote for Bitwarden. Works on everything I use!
If you start drafting the intro / explainer in VSCode so you can easily reference things in the code you already failed.
