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.

    OC brings people. Adopt a community you wish was bigger and make a personal commitment to post to it daily.

    For bonus points convince two other people to adopt their own community. We’ll pyramid scheme this sucker with content.

      That’s what I did over on kbin. I’m responsible for posting 95+% of pro wrestling news on Lemmy/kbin, and another person sets up most of the discussions. The community wasn’t picking up speed back during the early redditpocalypse. Now we’re getting tons of activity.

      So I was wishing that r/korea woukd be a thing on lemmy, I found an instance hosted in Korea and subscribed. I started posting, now after like 3 month it’s full of only my own posts, each gets 3-7 upvotes and every 5th gets a comment from someone outside of Korea ^^.

      I feel that if I’m the only one posting anyway I perhaps should bring it to my own instance which I have controll over and could moderate if it became necessary. I have no idea who is the admin of that one.

        The instance is a little small and the community doesn’t have many users. It could help advertising it a little so interested people find out about it. Looks like someone even made a post after your comment.

        This is a community I help with, but there are others like it: [email protected]

        I agree. I’ve been shying away from some instances. Since that community is small anyway, you could make it on your own / find a different instance for it.

      I dunno which one works, but the only way we’ll get enough Huns to pull this off is with a solid tagline.

      Maybe something like, “Upvote your down line, lest ye receive downvotes from your up line.”
