I feel to maximize growth:

Post daily at a time when most people are on Lemmy.
Always try to include an interesting picture with the post. If you're sharing a URL, sometimes a thumbnail doesn't show or is uninteresting. In these cases, find a better picture and use that and move the URL to the body of the post.
Shamelessly plug the community every chance you get. Speaking of which, [email protected]

In my app, you can add an alternate picture that will replace the url picture. Can you do that on other platforms?

Edit: oh yeah, also great post! Thanks for doing your part!
