Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Pretty much everyone I see is on lemmy.ml. Why aren't people moving to other instances? I see thisproblems on Matrix too.

from what I see, Lemmy is still too small to be a full "network", it's just a flagship instance with some satellite instances around it.

We need to help it grow in order for proper decentralised network to form.

But I don't see many people promoting it. About a year ago I made a draft for Wikipedia article about Lemmy, but I did not find much to write about. Recently I checked how it is doing, and I saw that apparently people made some questionable additions to the draft and submitted it for review. Submission got rejected, reason being that Lemmy is not "notable" enough, as in, practically no independent information sources talk about it or even mention it. Of course I went to search the internet in hopes of proving this wrong, but I was not successful. Apparently promotion of Lemmy and rest of the Fediverse is something that is not being done as much as I would have wanted.

There should probably be some Fediverse Promoting Guide that would list effective means of spreading the word about what Fediverse is and why people should use it.

spoilerWould someone please make a Fediverse Promoting Guide?
