How to get friends to switch over? (lemm.ee)

I've recently discovered element and revolt as alternatives for discord and Snapchat. We mainly use Snapchat for text chat so not being able to send snaps is not a deal-breaker. It's quite difficult to get people to switch over to something else because they know their current service and "it just works". Snapchat for android is terrible and some of my friends agree so I wouldn't say that "It just works". I need some tips as to how to convince them to switch. Thanks in advance :-)

I have signal and it's great. I don't know too many people that use it, but my family very close friends use it. But I need kind of a discord server structure with channels and categories and element and revolt seems to do just that. I'm not gonna use revolt after I found out they were involved in crypto + the app is a bit too early in development for me. Element seems to be the most promising when it comes to organising server wise.
