What ways do you know to attract users?
Perhaps there are those here who have been with Lemmy since its inception. It’s interesting to hear your experience in promoting your community or instance.

My experience is that it’s too safe and self-righteous to be truly fun (also, admins are horny about defederation), but I respect the platform and I manage to have some good conversations.
I try to promote it to people, but they don’t see anything fun to draw them in. I’ve had people vaguely complain about the “vibes.” I think it’s seen primarily as being for nerds.
I think we need events that only happen on lemmy. Maybe AMAs by interesting people or celebs.
I think I know what you mean. Too many hurdles, too much of the tech elitism, too little that’s just genuinely fun, useful, or interesting for outsiders. Lemmy has a content/accessibility/attitude problem.
