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.

      Pretty much none of the communities that I used to browse on Reddit are active here, so I wouldn’t mind more people here.

        I agree. Some communities are missing. But I fear to see the toxicity of reddit replicated here. I wish we can avoid this.

          I agree, but in my experience the focused communities that I liked to browse on Reddit were almost never toxic. The difference may be that I deliberately went to the specific communities that I was interested in; I generally never just browsed Popular, where I’m sure the bulk of the toxicity was.

          Unfortunately the communities that I’m interested in have next to no activity here, so I would definitely like to see more users.
