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.

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.

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