It's been difficult to broach the subject and explain the technical concepts to the average person. I did have some success in first sharing the email comparison, which lead into interoperability.

I'm just curious to hear people's success stories, if you have any.

Why would I tell them about "the fediverse"? Tell them that you use Lemmy or Mastodon or whatever. If they are interested then give them a link to a good instance. That's it.

Fair. I just find it interesting and want to share it. I should just let them decide on their own if it's something they find interesting or not. I'll try to remember to just give them an app recommend instead.
