Yeah, the pipeline's going to be tricky.

I support crosslinking. Prior art for that would be the weird "imageboard federation" of ~2019 involving, say, https://trashchan.xyz/boards.html (sorry for blowing up the spot?). We could try finding friendly Lemmy instances, although that might be tough.

The Vault is good. Maybe it should come with a cover page linking directly to some of the more accessible/popular ones?

We could try more traditional things like having events or competitions, or other easy on-ramps into the community. That would pair with analyzing existing larger communities we could advertise in. Just like (he said, perhaps descending into self-parody) some scientist once said there's a farmer somewhere in Africa who would do his job twice as well, there are definitely people on Facebook (or even more cursed and corporate venues, like the clocksite) who have no idea any of this exists but would be better contributors and participants than me. The fun part is getting them here.

I'd love to! But this takes review work and coding work, and right now we're really limited by volunteer time :/

I think the issue here is that we have to get people here before they're aware of events and competitions. And once people are here, the hard part is done already.
