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.

That would be great. I am not sure if it was RES doing it or it was a default reddit thing but I do remember images automatically expanding on there. Having it happen automatically on Lemmy would be great as long as the user is not on a slow or data-capped connection.

Even on a slow connection, if you've clicked the link, you're there to view the post. The image simply must be visible by default. It would be more interesting to allow clients to choose what image quality to load, but I don't know a good way to do that. Maybe default to low quality, then you can choose high quality after logging in?
