I don’t think it makes much sense to try to persuade people to join Fediverse unless one notices that they are really interested in it.

Much on point. I guess instead of persuading people. we just have to tell them what fediverse is (e.g making a video on it) and let them do what they want with that information. whether they join or not is up to their choosing.

Some more detail to the great points provided by @ajz:

The fediverse ecosystem and standards - the foundation on which it all stands - is evolved by the grassroots SocialHub community.
SocialHub is unfortunately very small and needs more active participation. It makes fedi weaker than most people think. I wrote the Spiral Island analogy for it.
SocialHub is not just for technologists, but for anyone that wants to evolve fedi into the future. There’s the Fediverse Futures where you can post.
And there’s also the Fediverse Futures Lemmy community, which is purely for nice, delicious brainstorming and dreaming of all that’s possible.
When it comes to apps & software you can promote, the most complete are the ActivityPub Application Watchlist and the ActivityPub Developer Resources Watchlist (they are input for Fediverse Party).
