So I wrote a blog post on how I feel we can encourage more people to fedi, and it starts with DON'T TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE FEDIVERSE, because I'm very clever, or something. Would be happy to get your thoughts on that!

Okay, so many thoughts. I'm not even done, but already I love this.

I 100% agree with the point that we shouldn't recommend "the fediverse" to people, but should focus on the actual places (ie websites) that just happen to use ActivityPub. It's like in the phpBB days -- you didn't get regular people to join your communities by pitching them on "open-source php" but on cool websites they could join.

The Smol Web

Community for the appreciation and sharing of links, resources, and culture of: the smol web / small web / ~(w)~ / the indie web / or even the non-www internet (gemini, gopher, etc).

Back of a napkin definition, subject to change: if it's internet accessible and is maintained by a person, especially for non-commercial aims, then I would consider it smol. There are, however, much stricter definitions.
