How can we boost Lemmy membership? (lemm.ee)

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.

So I was wishing that r/korea woukd be a thing on lemmy, I found an instance hosted in Korea and subscribed. I started posting, now after like 3 month it's full of only my own posts, each gets 3-7 upvotes and every 5th gets a comment from someone outside of Korea ^^.

I feel that if I'm the only one posting anyway I perhaps should bring it to my own instance which I have controll over and could moderate if it became necessary. I have no idea who is the admin of that one.

I had no idea that [email protected] existed until you posted about it.

I am in Korea regularly. I joined the community.

The instance is a little small and the community doesn't have many users. It could help advertising it a little so interested people find out about it. Looks like someone even made a post after your comment.

This is a community I help with, but there are others like it: [email protected]

I agree. I've been shying away from some instances. Since that community is small anyway, you could make it on your own / find a different instance for it.
