I think you have too high hopes for the possibility to get non tech-geek users to try the Fediverse. If Heavy Metal Community A on Facebook disappears overnight, I think the users will simply join Heavy Metal Community B (on Facebook).

You might be correct. I do not know the community in question nor the desire of the community leader here nor their background for interest in what i suggested. But i figured, i just provide a proposal, that's all.

And, separately, while the fediverse is vastly dwarfed in participation numbers by convenional social media...at last count there are several millions of users engaged within the fediverse...Now, that number fluctuate wildly depending on sources from single digit millions of users to double digit millions of users, etc...But there are still quite a large number of people nowadays on the fediverse. I happen to know many users (that i ineract with constantly) on the fediverse who are most definitely not tech-geeks. I win nothing if this community leader listens to me or not...again, i was just proposing a suggestion.
