If it’s not topic specific, try this one?

I get it, even with link posts and memes sometimes I’m not sure if I’m posting it in the right places, or if I have to trade off potential traction with how closely related it is.

A solution I’ve employed sometimes is to post to two spots:

• first in the niche community where it feels a best fit, even if it shows like 12 subscribers…
• then crosspost to a more popular one for visibility with a link in body text to the other one, to help other people discover the niche community.

That way you don’t feel forced to only participate in the popular instances and communities.

E.g. !boardgames@sopuli.xyz then !games@lemmy.world

E.g.2: !vancouver@lemmy.ca then !canada@lemmy.ca

E.g.3: !rant@lemmy.sdf.org then !offmychest@lemmy.world
