      you can promote your community by responding to relevant posts or comments.

      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

      If someone uses a factorial without realizing it, you can point them to the unexpected factorial community.

      That’s what I do a few times a year. Not exactly an aggressive marketing campaign.

  You can always crosspost posts from your new comm to other comms as long as they’re relevant to the comm you crosspost to. This is essentially advertising for your comm without making “pls post in my comm” posts

  Don’t mind me I kinda like it.

  Jokes aside, I usually see people shamelessly cross posting the same post across multiple communities.
