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.

Sounds like you're looking for a different client. Connect has a perfectly functional search bar.

When I search for a community in Connect it only shows me communities my home sever knows about.

But if your server doesn't know about them then wouldn't you be unable to connect to them anyway?

Yeah that's like the problem I'm trying to point out :-)

An indexer or Lemmy-crawler that indexes all the descriptions and stuff (maybe messages?) and make it searchable could be a road to check out.
