Hmmm so the only way to grow is to post on other social media platforms about fediverse?
Very niche communities should generally try to join a more generic community
Yeah, not a bad idea.
Comment on Are there any abandoned fediverse community you'd like to see resurrected?

Not really, if they went abandoned it’s probably because they were too niche. Very niche communities should generally try to join a more generic community to avoid over reliance on a single poster.

For promoting the Fediverse to other people there is !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Very true, and at the same time it shows the power of algorithms on mainstream platforms.
I created a couple of Lemmy communities because I wanted an alternative to Reddit’s pretty popular ones. And without crowd management, ads, paid keywords on google and algorithms nothing actually hint people from the fediverse there.
Only a voluntary research on Lemmy shows the communities efficiently. That’s a pretty steep first step to get to niche communities.

You indeed have to actively promote it, or join a more generalist community
