None. The idea of federation feel foreign and confusing to people, even though they do that everyday when sending and receiving emails. I found it is best not to mention federation. Instead, invite them to an instance that you know would appeal to them. Let them discover and come to you with questions. When it becomes their question, they are more open to learning.

When we try to load them with that knowledge from the beginning, it becomes overwhelming.
