I've not done anything beyond linking friends to funny/high quality posts on the Fediverse, and already a few have made the jump. For many instances, there is a very high signal to noise ratio that is an enticing factor for outsiders to join (if the user shares the interests of the instance).
The UX for boosting, replying and interacting with users on other instances is pretty straightforward, you merely fill your handle once when trying to boost/reply to a post found on another instance (if you don't follow or otherwise have a copy of that toot on your local instance) and it will OAuth (IIRC) to boost/like, or redirect you to your instance if you chose the reply option (with said toot your replying to pulled up). Overall pretty slick IMO.
One factor in this is there is generally not a wall between linking users to content on the fediverse, and them being able to view it. No Quora, Twitter or Facebook full screen popups that cut off reading a thread or toot, just here's the thread :P
Open linking/access to public toots unlike other "social" media is a big differentiator.
