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.
Lurkers gonna lurk.
Is that true though? I used to be a major lurker, but now I post relatively often. I think having other people post about stuff you care about, rather than just screenshots of other websites, can be a big factor.
commenters gonna comment
posters gonna post
Yeah! We need lurkers. It’s a given that only 5 % (give or take 50%) of users actively participate in fora like lemmy and reddit. So if you attract more users, some of them will be active, but most will be lurkers. That’s a fact
