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.

Thank you, these are excellent tips! Btw here is the community: https://programming.dev/c/auai ([email protected]) - I didn't want to mention it because I didn't want my post to sound like cheap self-promotion, but I guess I'm a bit too shy in this regard.

The icon and the cover image are terrible, I'm planning to replace them later.

Remember most people are pretty new here and there's no way for them to find new communities other than purposefully searching by keyword, or stumbling across a mention somewhere. So if it makes sense in context to give yours a shoutout, do it! If it's relevant to the conversation you're not spamming anyone, you're literally helping them navigate.

I really like what you’ve been posting so far. I’ve been working more with image generating AI -but I would have been interested in following information regarding more general/text focused AI on Reddit, except all the communities I checked were pretty bad 😂.

Some places I think you can promote it -
[email protected]
Any big technology community, there’s multiple on different instances
If we can find an article related to image AI, I can post it to the stable diffusion groups. I’ve been posting at [email protected].

Thank you! I'm glad you like my posts! I've definitely noticed most AI groups/subreddits being bad... The hype is at fever pitch nowadays so I guess that's why they are full of low-quality filler content.

I subbed to both of those magazines, but for some reason Lemmy federation with kbin is super slow, so it will take a while for me to be able to post in them.

I actually had a super interesting article about the "hidden vocabulary" of image generation models in my notes that I wanted to post, so I went on and posted it now. It isn't about Stable Diffusion but it might still be interesting to people in that group. Thanks again!
