I resurrected: Degoogle!degoogle@lemmy.ml and have been trying to grow it a bit.
It was on 3.56k subscribers and 152 active monthly users on 21/7/23. 117 posts.
Now 4.54k, 333 active monthly users, 135 posts.
Best techniques I found was reach out to larger subs in a similar area with similar interests, link to their communities in your description and ask if they could do the same to help users find what they like. Also crossposting is great from larger areas. You can see crossposts from the main post and it’s easy to click and deep dive into there. Crossposting about 3 posts which resonated with the users did most of the heavy lifting.
