I’d first recommend filling your community with content. Make it a place worth visiting, and not some place that looks empty, like you’re hoping other people will fill it with content.
Second, I’d recommend posting on a regular basis. This will make it worthy of repeat visits, and also create a form of subtle advertising. Your posts will show up in peoples’ ALL feeds, and if it’s quality content, then you’ll gradually attract subscribers that way.
I tend to think that the more niche a topic is, the more of the work the founder will have to do themselves. At this point I’ve surely posted over 500x at my own community, and there’s a little bit of guest posting, but it’s generally slow-going. I think the key in all that is if you have a genuine passion for your subject, then it will seem less like work.
Oh, and make sure you ‘advertise’ at the various new community places across the Fediverse.
I just created !farmingsimulator@piefed.social a few days ago and I have made one post but no one else has posted, how do I grow my community?
