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.

We’ve got a new sorting option that boosts smaller communities coming in v 0.19. That plus community grouping would be killer!

    I don't know if this can be adjusted at the platform level, but is it possible you could put in a filter for meme posts? That is 85% of my feed, and I'd really like to minimize them as much as possible.

    I come to Reddit(and now Lemmy) for discussions rather than memes, and the content I'm looking for just doesn't appear in my feed at all really. It would be great if there was a way to filter out or diminish the quantity of those types of posts. Reddit has flair, which makes it easy to filter that way. I'm not sure if Lemmy has something comparable that would allow easy filtration like that.

    I think some short of tagging system might be in the works. Not sure though, not whether you could filter by them.

    Maybe you could change what you’ve subscribed to?

    I mean in the main feed, as opposed to the subs/community subscriptions tab. I'd like to use it for content exploration, similar to how I would use /r/all on Reddit, but with memes filtered out.
