It’s also a good idea to share content without additional context whenever possible. Just send them a link to an interesting post. The more people get used to seeing interesting content on Lemmy, Masto, etc., the more likely they are to think it’s not “weird” and maybe make an account to comment on something.

“Imagine if social media were run by the people who use it instead of corporations selling ads through engagement at all costs.”

The !selfhosted@lemmy.world community has a lot of information on how to do this. I got into it a couple years ago because I felt weird about google listening in on my lightswitch activity (and to steal TV). Now I have a nice set of services running that have nothing to do with media (and actually help me do more things legally, and in some cases better than before).

There are also software communities like !grapheneos@lemmy.world to help with tools to manage software better. I am not a fanboy or anything but I like that GrapheneOS allows any app to be installed without network permissions.

Other good ones to check out:

!androidapps@lemmy.world
