How can we boost Lemmy membership?
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.

Not-so-secret of Reddit success (vs other link aggregators) was that they allowed NSFW content. Set up a separate opt-in corner of Fediverse to post that stuff and a big chunk of reddit will migrate over.
That's lemmynsfw.com
Fortinet at my corp just banned the whole thing.
That's probably evidence of success.
You shouldn't browse porn at your company anyway lmao
But then how do I assert my dominance at meetings? By having hentai on when plugging in the projector?
I was shooting the breeze with a fellow Team Lead (automotive manufacturing), when I noticed that he was browsing Indeed, on our workstation. He didn’t care if they noticed; he knows he is indispensable.
If they're smart, they're working to make him less indispensable asap. The dude has one foot out the door whether they like it or not.
Kind of fair enough really
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
While I think a majority of their success came from basically being the only usable search result from google, I would be lying if I didn't say I was extremely disappointed and left for a bit after I found out why I couldn't find any NSFW instances on here.
