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.

Lemmy needs to be easier to use. Finding and following communities is far too complicated.

We need to get this proposal implemented. It would pretty much solve the issue.

    I totally agree with this point that, Lemmy needs to be accessible easily, I started using it and find it useful because of boost app. Otherwise it's very hard to understand and still is what is Lemmy.world what is lemmy.ml etc. And how to make them combined.

    Let's not forget to comment this on I needed account , I tried to sign-up with lublnfrom boost didn't work. I had to Google sign-up for Lemmy.world which takes me to special form , which has disable login with disposable email id's. All in all TOOOOOOOOOOOO difficult process for common users. Doing this process I am still not sure if I comment on Lemmy.whatever subs.

    Finding community and joining it, I still have no idea. It's all too complicated.

    Overall

    1. What is a different Lemmy's means
    2. Simplifying sign-up process and make it streamlined
    3. Make easier to use Lemmy

    These would be my suggestion as Lemmy stands now.

    I'm trying to wrap my head around this, the issue is a very long conversation. Basically two subs merge together if they agree, if a user wants to post, both mods need to see if it's not a duplicate? This might add more complication with more merging like a 6 group merge or something, it could be chaotic with more mods and each other having conflict wars.
