I run my own instance and I have created some communities that I loved back on Reddit. I searched and no similar communities seem to exist in the fedeverse yet. Obviously there is nobody visiting them right now, so how would you go about trying to promote it to attract some discussion?

I'm also curious. a lot of people seem focused on lemmy so most of the communities are from large lemmy instances like lemmy.world or beehaw.org. it makes smaller or less popular instances not really discovered. I wonder if there's a place to share?

When I tried to search a community I used this https://browse.feddit.de/. Similar but there's also this https://lemmyverse.net/

That only pulls up lemmy communities, meaning it misses kbin ones.

You could promote them in [email protected]
