To add, it's not nothing that lemmy and kbin have grown as much as they have. This has introduced many to the concept of the fediverse at all, or at least to those two names, and they're more likely to switch after they've heard about it a couple times, or after it grows a bit more, or once reddit pisses them off even by just some toxic mod doing dumb shit and making them say "fuck this site, I'm going to that alternative I heard about."
I guess what I'm getting at is this is effective marketing even if we don't make the sale today. Like Hank during Grillstraveganza, you provide quality information and let the customer make up their own mind, and your sales will come in at the end of the month. We don't need all those fancy Jo-Jack tricks to make an immediate sale, we can bide our time like Hank.
