Comment on Is there a way to promote a community you create without stepping on toes?

say you create a community for ducks and mallards, then you can go to the birding or wildlife communities and tell people posting there about your awesome new place

Well, if that’s the case, then I have a community called “DataBackRibs” that would definitely appreciate you specific data about ducks and mallards

lemm.ee/c/DataBackRibs I’m trying to make a community where people can be open with data and findings, have a respectful discussion, and then both parties “Walk away” with better knowledge while not getting that social media ego. I hope that makes sense

Ok, it’s almost empty at the moment.
The best thing you could do is post articles to it at a rate of about 1 a day. This will turn up in people’s feeds and hopefully get up voted and attract comments.
Cross posting etc., can come after this. You can’t promote a community with no content.
