Any thoughts on getting this community rolling? (lemm.ee)

I tried posting on a Discord for people with/caregiving for those with dementia. Got a nibble of interest, got pinned by the mod, wrote out detailed instructions on how to get on Lemmy and find us… Possibly the geek level killed interest.

The Discord is pretty quiet, except for incoming bot posts, an IFTTT feed directly from r/dementia to the Discord. (It's one-way, we can see them on Discord, but they can't see us.) Is it worth posting in Reddit, do you think? I'm wondering if I even mention Lemmy, whether I'll get permabanned from Reddit.

I appreciate the help. I'm open to any ideas to get this community to a more active,state for sure. I know that if we post regularly in here we increase the chances of people already on Lemmy seeing us when they sort by new posts.

I know that some posts have been auto removed for suggesting Lemmy on Reddit, but I'm not sure about bans. If you're active in a subreddit over there it may be worth it to pm the mod and see if they;re interested in checking it out or maybe partnering with us over here if things continue to go south on Reddit. I'm happy to share this space with anyone and add Reddit mods as mods here if they'd like that.

I wish I hadn't already deleted my Reddit account that had 13 years of history on it. I'could have helped out over there.
