The good thing about Fediverse is the decentralization.
There’s no one Lemmy instance, or Mastodon instance. You could use any server, or even selfhost your own, if you wanted to, and have pretty much the same potential for reach.
That’s all anyone needs to know about the Fediverse.
The hard thing is authenticity. Particularly for public figures, celebrities, social media personalities, businesses, etc. People who want or need an online personality that corresponds to their real one. I really don’t know what the method is for “proving” yourself on the Fediverse.
I use Lemmy and like it, but I still have no idea what the fediverse is. Lemmy seems to work fine for me without this knowledge.
Tbh, I don’t think federation is a good selling point. It’s difficult to explain and understand for a general audience

Isn’t it as simple as posting a photo of oneself holding a sign with your username/instance?
