If it's not topic specific, try this one?
I get it, even with link posts and memes sometimes I'm not sure if I'm posting it in the right places, or if I have to trade off potential traction with how closely related it is.
A solution I've employed sometimes is to post to two spots:
That way you don't feel forced to only participate in the popular instances and communities.
E.g. !boardgames@sopuli.xyz then !games@lemmy.world
E.g.2: !vancouver@lemmy.ca then !canada@lemmy.ca
E.g.3: !rant@lemmy.sdf.org then !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
Combo!
I love the cross posting feature. It's helpful to spread the love
Thanks for the suggestions, that seems like a strategy with many positives for Lemmy in general and smaller communities in particular.
I feel very seen by this reply because I think this is at the heart of it for me.
