    There's a lot a small company could do on the fediverse but what do you think the best way they could go about it is?

    Social media is for humans to socialize. Not for businesses to find customers.

      don't.

      fediverse is not an opportunity tap.

      if I see any advertising on any of my social platforms I add the company to my blacklist and avoid them as much as I can.

        Best way business can use the fediverse is to go away.

          The best way is to use in a way that gives, not takes. So any ideas of advertising or promoting - forget about it. Creating a community or maintaining a Mastodon presence for support contact might be about the only thing you can do that's not going to get you eviscerated.

          Most of us are here to get away from the bullshit. Please don't bring in more bullshit.

            As you may have noticed, it's best to avoid Lemmy because there's a loud group of users with extreme political and economical views who will devote their morning to attack your post instead of simply moving on.

            You may have more success on Mastodon where there are lots business accounts with thousands followers and everyone is happy to follow or ignore you without so much drama.

              We work in it. Created FedID and use it for identity management.

              We also use Ghost for our blog.

                Feel free to create a community based on your products and services and keep loyal customers up to date through that. People will subscribe or not.

                  Why on earth would a business owner waste time trying to leverage such a small and niche platform? Even Facebook and Instagram feel like more trouble than it's worth. Less than 10% of my customers have found me via social media.

                    Commerce is a social act.

                        That's fair enough having your own Fediblock list makes sense especially if they are only purely pushing for ads.

                            The FedID is just a way to try out federated services internally. Ghost can federate posts to other federated services, they have plenty of info on their site if you're interested.

                                there is no money to be done on the fediverse

                                people here are sensible to influencers, ads, etc… Like at the beginning of the Internet.
                                They hate it a lot lot more than people on youtube, tiktok or facebbok even reddit.

                                This is a place for non-commercial sharing.
                                At least for now.
