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.
I never feel like I have anything interesting to post. But I do try to encourage other posters by leaving a positive comment, even if it's just a thank you or something nice.
Upvotes don't do much, but some positive feedback should keep people motivated to keep posting. At least, that's how I see it.
It doesn't have to be that interesting. It just needs to be content. I found maybe 5%-10% of posts on imgur to be interesting, yet I still went there everyday for years. Same with Reddit, but likely even less.
