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.

Have you tried moderating yet? With your posting frequency you'd likely make a good mod. The tools kind of suck but its better if you're on more like you are.

I created the XCOM community on lemmy.world, but I haven't had to mod a single thing yet, because it's slow (only 300-something subscribers, and mostly me posting).

I might look into it. The only catch is that I'm usually just checking lemmy on my phone, and I haven't looked into how many apps have the ability to mod stuff.
