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.

That's the struggle at first, getting a deluge of users that keep people both entertained, AND posting content.

Unfortunately I don't think we've reached that number of users yet and it throws us into a vicious cycle of losing users who were also posters.

I'm not sure how to grow it on our end, other than continuing to contribute to the communities, but I do know that if Reddit keeps following Elon's business decisions, they may end up losing many users as well.
