What are we going to do about it?

I guess once more and more content is posted here, naturally more people will come. And also any further steps of reddit enthitiffication will move people over.

    Can we actively do something to help this process?

    yes. do what i’ve been doing. tell your irl acquaintances about the fediverse. tell them about the lack of algorithm and the lack of ads. tell them about the lack of billionaires farming you and yours for data.

    Already on it! ✊

    But I think we need a simple elevator pitch to win them over. No ads is definitely a great start.

    The main thing is post more. Lack of content is the main reason people don't use Lemmy more, and the only way to fix this is to share/produce more.

    Its a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I think even (transparent, community-relevant) bots are a good idea at this point, given that 99% of interests have little to no activity currently. For example, if we had bots that post game update changelogs to their relevant communities, it would at least provide a baseline amount of content and make it easier to discuss for fans of those games.
