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.

I just block the bots, I want to see what real people care enough to post.

That's what I'm doing too. But trying to bring people in and saying oh just block all the bots as the default is not optimal.

Welcome to the new web. Nothing is optimal, it's a good intro for people. The setting is there and that's what matters.

You can also turn off the Lemmy option to see bot posts, and then just manage bot-like humans.

That's what I meant, but appreciate the clarification.
