Has someone or someone you know be hired or get a customer because the fediverse?

I want to hear feel-good success stories.

@theraccoonbytes I don't know if this counts, but I've been running a website that reviews Christmas movies for 12 years and while I do it for free I take donations.

I have made more in the last two years on here in donations than I did in the previous decade on Twitter by a ratio of about 100 to 1.

Adding the fedihire hashtag might give some more answers.

@theraccoonbytes fedi was instrumental in the launch of our game, Kitsune Tails, and getting it up to overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam in its week of launch. It went on to win multiple awards

@theraccoonbytes I found my employer thanks to the fediverse! I asked about cool EU Linux gaming studios on Lemmy and someone mentioned @egosoft, I sent them an email and here I am
Awesome people, awesome game, super happy to work there.
