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 was good at attracting Reddit users who still had the Reddit mindset. If we go with the idea (as some have) to push a “simple default instance that we can point everyone to” that’s what we’d end up with.

Sure, but it ends up being extreme even for Reddit. There’s no discourse, it’s just everyone nodding along and agreeing.

I’m not praising it, there’s a critical mass that communities can grow before it becomes like that and it’s interesting that lemmy.world is already hitting it.
