Start telling people now, over on reddit. BEFORE they start cracking down. That way, everyone will know, and the growth will happen even more rapidly.

Bro, I've tried. Mods do a good job on the instances putting up content. But I'm hoping to get my news from those instances. Outside of that I get my news from podcasts. Not really sharable content for this platform. I've had like 3 replies from about 20 comments and it's rare for a post to reach double digit up votes. I'll for sure water plants but I'm kind of over planting seeds. I mod a couple nsfw communities so I'm doing my part.

Yeah, it's not an easy thing to do. It can certainly feel like wasted effort, but "over planting" is just the best way to get communities going. Most people that would otherwise engage are too sheepish to make posts of their own, but are more willing to add on to other's posts. Glad your willing to put in the effort.
