Fediverse

But you need to get the celebrities here first FOR the regular userbase to follow. Which is the whole point of the post.

It's like those dog memes about the stick. "No take! Only throw!" Well, you have to take the stick first, THEN you can throw the stick.

Well, you need the celebrities here first, THEN the regular userbase will come.

So how do you get them here? Well first you make a list of every problem that would prevent a celebrity from coming here. Then iron out those rough edges first.

I've already talked in other posts prior how the only way to grow the userbase is to be welcoming of people that you have no interest in interacting with. But it's fine. Because they don't want to interact with you either. It doesn't matter though because you can be on /c/Linuxmemes, and they can be on /c/homeandgarden.

And if Martha Stewart posted on /c/homeandgarden she'd bring her fanbase with her. And if Ozzy Osborn posted on /c/ozzybitesabat he'd bring his fanbase.

And so on and so on with each new celebrity. Some of them have overlap, some don't. But you're bringing more people, who create more instances, and then niche communities can develop. You get more people posting more content. And the platform grows with more varied topics than just politics, technology and video games.

Or you could ignore what the celebrities want, and google, and reddit, and instagram will always be the dominant platforms, while nobody will have ever heard of the fediverse.

I'm trying to bring the current system down.
