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.

Relay for Reddit stopped working for me today. I won't pay for content I partly create, so my shift will be final to Lemmy, unless my social media addiction finds another way.

Thing is, what Reddit still has, is the available history of content. If Lemmy has new topics and new content, it will at one point become second nature to also add "Lemmy" to a search query. And at some point hopefully without Reddit ever crossing the mind. For now it's a slow and painful process as contribution is the only way to push Lemmy.

So whatever you do, contribute as much as possible. Then we can do it. I'd say push the bigger communities first, the smaller will follow, like how it was with early Reddit.

I also stopped using Reddit forever today, since Relay stopped working.

But I feel like there will never be a way like searching on Google for thing I'm interested in + Lemmy.

The problem is that content is duplicated on many instances, and those instances may even don't have "Lemmy" in their websites
