There’s a community for new communities on Lemmy.world. That’s a great place to share the word about any new communities created recently!

The community is literally called “New Communities”.

Apart from all the good Lemmy suggestions, right now I think is a good moment to mention it on Reddit posts in related communities, especially in response to people complaining about the current way Reddit is going.

I‘ve come here from when various shit got deleted/banned off r/piracy and people in the comments mentioned the piracy Lemmy.

You could start by telling people the name of your community?

Share links to it in other posts, Add the name to this thread might help. Boot strapping a community is hard, but for starters you have to tell people that it exists.
