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 [email protected]", post your community there and you should get some people to join.

[email protected] 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!

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): [email protected]
