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.

Couldn't agree more. A focus on new members is a terrible idea. Just focus on making Lemmy better.

Eh. I do also want to see lemmy grow, but it has to grow through different communities, if the only active community is 196 then it's going to grow in a very shitty direction. If it grows through hobby communities, it will slowly capture the charm and power of the Reddit network—as a place you can go to talk about anything and have any problem solved.
