I used to live in a city with a big university library I went to often. Sometimes I left notes or hints in books I liked. Maybe one could leave a list of local instances or a pamphlet about how one can and should host their own in some admin or linux books

For (potential future or current) fedizens:
Local Fediverse chapters, supported by e.g. Mobilizon (federated alternative to Meetup) to plan events in your area.
For technologists:
Promote SocialHub community in any way you can, as that is where the open standards and foundations of the Fediverse are further evolved, and federated projects collaborate to become stronger together.
Involve universities and schools where curriculum subjects can be combined with fediverse-related activities.
Student bodies and groups get involved, organize hackathons and events.
Offer more bundled federated apps and infrastructure and advertise them to your local community and municipality to adopt instead of cloud-based GAFAM services.
Focus on breaking the silo that each federated app constitutes and work to facilitate a more Task-Oriented Fediverse
I have added an image to this cross-post from [email protected] with the logo of a website I am working on to promote this technologist side of the fedi, which will broadly address many of the technology challenges we need to overcome.
