How to best share your instance (snkkis.me)

Hey there! I was wondering of how you might easily share your instance with others? I've created one mainly for nordic people, but I am struggling to "advertise" it to people. Have any tips for a noob at lemmy instances? Thanks in advance! Oh, and if you are by chance interested in joining, then just go to my account, it's hosted there.

I still think instances should be largely region based, which is why I started one for Colorado. As far as sharing it I'm not really sure either other than spamming it everywhere (which I also don't want to do). Instance discovery kind of sucks, you can't even search on the main join Lemmy page.
