How can we boost Lemmy membership? (lemm.ee)

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.

Reddit's in was not simply "NSFW" content but essentially CSAM behind a paper-thin veneer of deniability. Let's not imitate that.

Uh what? Never once saw anything like that on reddit

Oh Reddit for sure had it. Jailbait was a big one and IIRC spez was a mod of it. It eventually picked up news attention and they axed it but it was a huge sub for a shockingly long time.

Wasn't the reason why Reddit got big though.

You should now understand why so many people were quick to jump ship once the CEO screwed over the moderators.

reddit had a lot of disgusting shite they wouldnt take down but i doubt its success was largely dub to that
