Time to go the sources Reddit usually has and post them yourself.

Also years of AITA or relationship_advice content to read when bored. Not to mention loads of amazing askreddit threads you can binge.

Content takes time to create.

A lot of people just want the endless scroll. No need to comment or post, just consume the posts. They would go back to Reddit for now because Lemmy is not a decade old content machine.

Sound like you two need to get on the sources and start a Lemmy community.
