My living donor was my brother, and then I had a deceased donor but I was very vocal about sharing my transplant waiting experience on social media, and I know a few people did get tested after I shared (one even ended up continuing to donate altruistically even though they weren't a match for me)
I focused on just sharing my story versus the donor specific posts I've seen some people do. I let people know how to get tested if they wanted to, but I never straight up asked people to donate via social media.
