I just created the !realmadrid@fanaticus.social commuity for football/ real madrid fans and have had a decent number of subscribers in a day. I still dont know how to get more people in tho, especially active members who would post. Yesterday was surprisingly good since I made a post on a bigger football community basically advertising my sub and it was gamenight. Any tips?
Find relevant threads and mention the community in the comments.
If you see posts compiling related communities (ex. Larger Football/soccer comms), you can ask them to add yours.
Post content! Enough people use "local" or "all" feeds that they'll see your community when you post something cool.
Finally, you've already posted in newcommunities, then later on you could also do !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
I like all that, thank you
