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.

Be careful who you invite.

Do we have to have more people though?

Need to find a new gallowboob. Better if it’s an actual group of users sharing the same id and pumping out quality content

Since most can't help on the technical side of things, you can really help with creating communities. Hopefully the scaled sort helps a lot of issues with smaller communities getting buried.

I'm still confused how it works. I subscribe to a channel, but all it is is updates about the channel, no content. Looks like I need to go to their website to see the content (which doesn't seem right)

It will be slower but I think we will get there.

I don’t think Lemmy will turn into “marketing platform” that Reddit is now . And I’m thankful for that!

Actually, the people who would only bother with the fediverse if it had more content are exactly the people I don't want here.

Maybe moving discussion out of the censored lemmy.ml instance would help

I try to share links as much as I can.
