If you want Lemmy to succeed, stop lurking and contribute with some content:

Take inspiration from your saved Reddit posts
Share a photo you took with your phone
/c/microthoughts and /c/showerthoughts for random thoughts and observations
Share interesting quotes, links, articles, videos, etc. that you saved (E.g: Youtube liked videos)

What else do you suggest?

Should we just start reposting stuff from Reddit, too? Or is that frowned upon?

One of the things reddit has over its alternatives is the vast amount of content it already gathered over the years. Sharing that content here might give people more consideration to join. Also i get why people frown upon reposts, seeing the same over and over again. But there are always people who haven't seen it. So under the right circumstances i encourage reposts, especially with useful posts.

It also feels different when there's no karma to gain and it's properly credited
