What about just pointing them to feddit.uk , with getvoyager.app for an app?
Lemmy.ca got a lot of new joiners following the boycottUSA movement in February

For me and the clients and fwiends I talk to the issue with the fediverse for them is the decentralised nature. Most of them are NOT tech inclined and the suggestion that they would have to choose a server and that choice will influence the experience is a deal breaker - pure and simple. To follow up then if they do join, the sheer lack of numbers baffles them and they quit

@3dcadmin@lemmy.relayeasy.com i think that not the problem with the fediverse, but the problem with how wehave been cultured so far. We got the concept of emails, we should get used to this soon too...

most of those I talk to struggle with emails to be fair… we are talking about the non techy people, I feel that is the real reason. Nothing I have seen about the fediverse helps displace the feeling you need to be more techy to use it

@3dcadmin@lemmy.relayeasy.com its 2025, and people still dont know how to use email?! And they are using the internet?!!! Its clearly not the fediverse's fault...
My parents barely know how to use a computer, let alone use social media. And they STILL understand how email works! Our family grew up with email.
I am very much worried about the future of the tech world, if this continues...
Sorry to appear disrespectful to you, i truly understand what you're saying. But, i truly dont get people like them...

oh and to add - I know plenty of people who have never used the internet EVER

Hey I know… but it is what it is… I know people who literally have no reason to use emails for example, have never left their home town
