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.

There should be an instance with an actual registered organization behind it - privacy policy & all to back up its legitimacy. Without this, Lemmy is a hard sell for a lot of people who don't want to just hand off their information to a person who may or may not be doing certain things with it.

I think that's fair, yeah. Explaining that some person I don't know runs the server doesn't quite sound the same as saying this instance is run by company XY

It also doesn't require that this person you don't know have any legal obligations regarding data handling.
