Email is my go-to example when explaining fedi to unfamiliar people. Its especially accessible to non-technical users because almost everyone has sent an email to someone with a different provider.

For single-user Mastodon instances, it really helps to become mutuals (you both follow each other) with some people on a few big instances. That will establish federation between your instance and theirs. Other things that can help are:

  • Interact (like, boost, reply) with interesting posts from another instance
  • Fill out your profile! That side of fedi tends to distrust blank profiles.
  • Write and sticky an introduction post, for the same reason as above.
