Brother that's a sermon just informing about the importance of the month.
Is there no specific report about common Muslims greeting each other at the beginning of Ramadhan? Even a Daeef one or a historical record even from later generations of Fuqaha/Muhaddithun?
And I am not a Salafi minded as u can guess. Just out of interest.

I can't help you there brother, what you asked needs research.

As for the report I posted above, the Prophet (SAWS) gathered his companions on the first day and told them "Ramadan Mubarak", is this so different than what laypeople say today?

Also when you say Ramadan Mubarak you remind the Muslims of its greatness, and when you say Ramadan Kareem you remind them of its plentiful bounties, this falls under reminding the Muslims:

{Remind them; you are surely a reminder.} [88:21]

A reminder is usually at the beginning of an event or right before it, so you will be rewarded for reminding them.

{O children of Israel, remember the favours I bestowed on you} [2:122]

Also since Ramadan is a blessing then mentioning it to others in any way is rewarding.
