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.
It’s a difficult issue to overcome. You need an active user base so people have content to view, but people won’t use the platform if there’s no content.
“Rome wasn’t built in a day” - it’s going to take time to build the user base.
The first steps here would be to be active, post and reply to content. Try to get friends or coworkers to join, but you gotta give them the caveat that it’s early, it’s not going to be like reddit now but it could be!
