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.

Participation. We need more of it. Like...a lot more of it.

Lurkers shouldn't lurk, and people should give others the benefit of the doubt far more often than they ever did on Reddit, if they ever did at all. Make Lemmy a community where engagement is valuable and fun and actually useful.

Artificial engagement only gets you so far.

I only say something when I have something to say. If I don't, then it becomes a chore.

I try to say it when I have something to say though. I didn't always bother on Reddit.

Mostly this

On Reddit I usually didn't comment anything, even if I had something to say. I do comment here, and a big part is that more people actually engage here.
