How can we boost Lemmy membership?
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.

Focus on stealing users from Reddit. Show them how fucked up reddit has become and provide an easy alternative. It took me too many clicks to transfer over the first time, but once it was made simpler I transferred and deleted reddit. Sew mass discontent on reddit.
I don't think spamming Reddit with Lemmy links will do much besides paint a picture of Lemmy users as obnoxious. I'd rather have Lemmy differentiate itself as more than just a Reddit alternative by offering something different and have the users come on their own. It's not about quantity for me, but quality. For example, I'd love to see some communities that focus on long-form discussions and heavy moderation to promote a more nuanced debate. I'd also love to see some media outlets host and moderate their own Lemmy instances to try and move the debate away from Facebook and the likes.
