I don't see anyone promoting this community on r/rugbyunion. That's probably the best place to start. Chances are, some of the users are looking for somewhere to have a conversation about rugby, if Reddit pops.

I guess the easiest way is to write about it on r/rugbyunion, so people that are fed up with reddit learn about this alternative. Though I'd ask the mods first if this is ok.
Anyone know how you find out who the mods are?
On desktop there is a button to "message the mods" in the side bar.
If you try to "create" growth, it can seem forced (tens of posts, all from the same user, with no comments just makes places look desperate.) just needs a few of us to post news, opinions, memes, etc, fairly regularly - and, more importantly, comment on them to drive conversations.
Yeah I am having the same problem with another community I created/mod. I saw somewhere on lemmy that once you grow to a certain size its easier to balance between lurkers and people who are active. The problem is getting to that point.
People come for the content. Keep posting and they will come
Very true. Also I appreciate/am thankful everyone who has commented and posted in this community.
