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.

Not-so-secret of Reddit success (vs other link aggregators) was that they allowed NSFW content. Set up a separate opt-in corner of Fediverse to post that stuff and a big chunk of reddit will migrate over.

Fortinet at my corp just banned the whole thing.

That's probably evidence of success.

But then how do I assert my dominance at meetings? By having hentai on when plugging in the projector?

I was shooting the breeze with a fellow Team Lead (automotive manufacturing), when I noticed that he was browsing Indeed, on our workstation. He didnโ€™t care if they noticed; he knows he is indispensable.

If they're smart, they're working to make him less indispensable asap. The dude has one foot out the door whether they like it or not.
