So i made a lemmy group but im not sure how to get more people to use the group and post on it, i had one person post but they deleted there post and i think they left becasue the group is just that small. do i just wait or is there something i can do to grow the group?
any advice or tips?

I think it’s hard now that there are so many popular instances already. Probably need to create some special interest instance or a lot of friends to join it to get things started.

yes! I see a bunch of communities created with nothing in it. If you create a community, start the conversation! Don’t squat on communities for the sake of it!
Apart from all the good Lemmy suggestions, right now I think is a good moment to mention it on Reddit posts in related communities, especially in response to people complaining about the current way Reddit is going.
I‘ve come here from when various shit got deleted/banned off r/piracy and people in the comments mentioned the piracy Lemmy.
Don’t be shy! What’s the group?
I’m loving Aurelia rn. So would love to join.
There’s a community for new communities on Lemmy.world. That’s a great place to share the word about any new communities created recently!
The community is literally called “New Communities”.
You could start by telling people the name of your community?
like how do i just randomly start putting it out there?
Share links to it in other posts, Add the name to this thread might help. Boot strapping a community is hard, but for starters you have to tell people that it exists.
And very importantly, what the actual purpose and focus of the community is, and what it is not for. That should be in its description, so everyone sees it at a high level when browsing communities (have a look how it appears in the Communities search.
