Can you please give me some tips on how to grow and popularize a Lemmy community? (self.asklemmy)

I’m a moderator of a smaller community. I’m posting quality content multiple times a day, and I posted about it in New Communities. The number of subscribers is low but it’s growing steadily.

Could you please give me some advice on growing this community? I don’t want to spam/flood or come off as rude or weird, but I really believe in it and think it would be useful to many people.

Be patient and keep going. Promote it in the comments of other posts (when the context allows it. For exaple someone says: "I really like X". That's when you reply "hey! I have a community about x! [email protected]")
