From-time-to-time these local Linux User Groups (LUGs) would put on a Linux InstallFest —
An in-person event where people (who weren't using Linux yet, but were interested) would bring their computer to the Linux InstallFest, and someone from the local LUG would help install Linux for them on their computer.

We (of the Fediverse) could learn from the Linux User Groups (LUGs).
We could have our own version of a Linux InstallFest — a Fediverse JoinFest.
An in-person event where people who are interested in the Fediverse, but are having trouble joining — can bring their mobile phone or laptop, and some Fediverse-savvy person (like us) could help them join the Fediverse.
We could install a Fediverse app on their mobile phone for them.
We could help them pick a server to join.
