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 think a better explanation of how to use it would be good, like that there’s not a native app and what an instance is. It took me some figuring how to get here.
True. As I mentioned, it was my favorite reddit app (Boost) coming to Lemmy that got me going. I had previously started to dip a toe into the fediverse, but it’s a rather confusing concept to think you need to sign up to an instance that may not have any specific appeal itself, it just give you a connection to all the other instances (except when it doesn’t).
They just had Jerboa when I signed up which I couldn’t seem to log in to for about a week. I finally gave up and then Connect came out.
I think that’s a good thing. Keeps out the riff-raff.
Haha.
Keeps out the new users we’ll need to keep this place alive, you mean
This place was alive before the Reddit flood. It would be fine.
