Since my favorite reddit app came to Lemmy I'm really keen on getting more people into the fediverse to pump up the volume of content around here. Are there any initiatives that we can assist to get folks onboard?

I had my wife join, and she likes it, but laments the slow pace of new material in the communities.

If you build it, they will come.

It's the reason I've been motivated to post as much as I do, both in broader communities and a handful of niche ones that I want to see grow.

If you've thought about posting/commenting but just haven't yet, take the plunge! I never used to post on reddit at all, and I've been pretty active since joining Lemmy.

I find it's easier to engage on Lemmy. One can share a different viewpoint and often find discussion rather than being shit on because you're not part of the echo chamber.

Yeah, and I've also found that you don't have to be active on a post within the first hour for anyone to see your comment. People comment and have their comments seen days after, because there seems to be a lot of variety in how people sort their feeds here.

That's a good point, I never thought of that
