    how would small business be best to use there accounts rather than shoving ads in your face.

    Let me be clear: I don't want you to bring marketing to the last tiny space on the internet where no-one is trying to sell me things. Go to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, one of the hundred or so for-profit social networks.

    Plenty of people advertise for you to donate towards them on here, I'm simply saying how small business can feel like they are being apart of the Fediverse rather than just using it to advertise there products.

      What is the best way small business' should use the Fediverse?

      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?

        It's "businesses," by the way.

          Only thing not really mentioned in the other comments are Pixelfed and PeerTube. Again you gotta make genuine stuff not ads but if you put at least some effort in the videos and post semi regularly (and ideally use your own instance) you'll be top in whatever niche you choose to highlight your business with. I can't say the garden tending would make great business sense (it won't bring you many new customers) but if the work you do is your passion, its another outlet to share it. Its also not bad to have your own (labeled) ad channel (on your instance), archives can bring nostalgia / meme material, but local only, and don't boost them.

          I don't think it'd be bad to have your own threadiverse and microblogging platform instances for support and slice of life type stories, but that's for interacting with existing customers and fans, not for gaining new ones. I'd caution interacting outside of your instance in that space unless pinged / mentioned directly, even more carefully than you would in other socials.

              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.

                          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.

                                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'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?

                                        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.
