The content you create or share, discussions you contribute to and curate using votes are useful for growing Lemmy too. Just read rules and maintain good ethics.
You can also point more people here, just show them https://join-lemmy.org/instances and cool apps like Liftoff or Thunder, and tell them to not overthink their choice (they can always switch accounts/apps). Do not introduce them to Lemmy on desktop at first where the federation is not very smooth without add-ons.
Not plugins as in browser addons I don’t think (tho those might exist too)
On mobile, no time for links, but you can google buuzzwords:
Checkout userscripts. A feature from a time when the experience of the web was still supposed to be hackable and not designed by corporate (you can in theory still create your own personal UI/UX for most sites). You’ll want a userscript manager like tampermonkey. Disclaimer that if you don’t understand javascript you could run malicious code, though the community provides some safety. If you want an extra safety layer copy/paste the code into ChatGPT and ask if its safe to install.

There are browser add-ons? I hadn’t considered that.
I’ve gotten pretty used to the browser interface.
