For the people who want to use Signal but are stuck in WhatsApp land because all their contacts are on WhatsApp, you should download WhatsApp business and create an automated away message that says that you are only available via Signal and with a link to your Signal account (if you use a Signal username. ) People in my contacts are slowly switching to Signal.
I did something similar with Twilio. When you call or text my number you get a message about how to reach me. The Twilio SDKs are pretty good. It's just a few lines of code.
