Or post them to reddit. Some subs are actively asking themseld if and where they move. Of course only the willing part, but a simple: "I created this community, see yea" could be enough
You can try posting them on newcommunities. https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities
Just remember to post them so that we can all get to that community from different federated [email protected]
Well, I just stumbled over this post in All, so maybe just include some links next time ... Honestly tho I don't know. Am noob
Cross-post from it to other relevant communities, and link to yours in the post body
Honestly just create them, and don't leave them for dead (give them content). That way they show up in searches on peoples instances and places like https://browse.feddit.de/
Be sure you have searched in the feddit.de or lemmy.ml searchbars rather than your own server's, since those will only populate with communities you've checked out.
Other than the wow this lemmy exists mentioned above, find communities in the general topic, example for F1 racing find car and hobby related communities. Or post a meme with a related topic and promote your community in a comment.
Make some good content and release on Lemmy first. Then crosspost to other platforms citing the Lemmy source.
