How do I properly promote a community?

I migrated from Reddit and I created a few community (based on niche subs) that aren't yet on Lemmy. What is the proper way to let people know they exist? I don't intend to spam like people do sometimes on Reddit.

There's a community called "New Communities@lemmy.world", post your community there and you should get some people to join.

!newcommunities@lemmy.world for a proper link accessible from any instance.

This is exactly how I found the last few communities I joined. Great resource

Make content. On your communities and on other communities.

People will see your content. Your profile. Your communities.

The community's content will also appear on loca!

Correct.

I will definitely consider sub.rehab since my communities gain a bit more traction! Thanks a lot

Maybe try telling the subreddits you migrated from

Reddit suppress any mention of Lemmy.

I mod a 100k plus sub on Reddit.

Posted about moving to Lemmy.world.

It’s pinned. It got 10 votes.

I have to manually approve anything I post linking to Lemmy on Reddit as well. Annoying

Ugh that's gross

If you can find something to legitimately cross-post to or from, that's one way for users of a bigger community to see you exist

Post, plug (wherever relevant), crosspost.

Here's a demonstration of the second step (nsfw): !animemidriff@lemmynsfw.com
