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.

Adoption of 3rd party apps should accelerate things.

Boost is now available on Android and it's in a good state

This is what brought me here.

Sync has been available for well over 2 months, I don't think that many former users will still follow. Sure, each new app will bring a fraction of its former users, but that's not sustainable.

Well, I'm new and was brought here by Boost. Hopefully more will join

I will say that the Lemmy registration process was not straight forward. The link to register brought me to a page with no registration form, just a bunch of Lemmy servers and no clear instructions on how to proceed from there. Room for improvement.
