I am barely 2 days old in Piefed, and l've already made it my home. I also created two communities : https://feddit.online/c/south_asia_bazaar and https://feddit.online/c/spiritual_comics

I'm happy to see that people are joining.

I just hope to have some interactions on the posts.

Greetings!

Tip: AP (ActivityPub) forums that adopt communities often allow tagging communities so external users can find them more easily.

For example, yours:

  • !south_asia_bazaar@feddit.online for !south_asia_bazaar@feddit.online
  • !spiritual_comics@feddit.online for !spiritual_comics@feddit.online

From what I've heard around, that part comes with time and patience. Post. Regularly. (AFAIK doesn't need to be a daily grind, just have a schedule). Things that people might want to discuss. With time they will come

It really does take a while. Especially if the community you're trying to grow is for a more niche topic

Agreed. PieFed is becoming a great community. In fact, I will argue it is better than the mainstream sites like reddit.

Ironically, PieFed translates OP's link style to something that works on our home instances, but the method that you brought up here allows broader adoption by helping people on Lemmy and Mbin do the same.

I was a daily reddit user since 2007. I made my PieFed account 3 weeks ago and haven't been back to reddit since.
