  • I know! We have been doing great work! Almost 2 years of shouting into a void is starting to pay off xD. I promoted the community on a promotion community, which gave it a big boost. I used this service which uses bots to federate the community with other instances (until there is a user from an instance that subscribes to a community, that community will not display in the All feed in that instance).















  • Yeah it was like that for me for a while. You just have to try your best not to run out of ideas, really know your stuff and just persist, even when it feels like you aren’t getting anywhere. And then every now and then, you will manage to engage a great contributor, who decides to post regularly, taking some of the load off yourself. If you continue to persist anyway, eventually more will come, creating enough of a community to engage in light discussion. I am sorta at that point with !thrashmetal@lemmy.world. I have a couple other great regular posters, one of which posts daily, which helps me to reach an even bigger audience (effectively having double the content). Now I have plenty of content, I just need to keep at it, and keep the place alive and with time it should hopefully grow naturally.
