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’d much rather see more discussion under the various posts then just an endless stream of what looks like just random links, mostly political, either supporting some democrat or trying to explain why some Republican is evil.
But also, when everyone agrees there isn’t really much to talk about, and if you disagree you wake up to an inbox full of the stupidest comments imaginable and a post with more downvotes that the original post even got upvotes for lol
If conversation is the goal, lemmy users who dominate the community right now don’t know how to have it
