  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.

    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
