I migrated from Reddit and I created a few community (based on niche subs) that aren’t yet on Lemmy. What is the proper way to let people know they exist? I don’t intend to spam like people do sometimes on Reddit.

There’s a community called “New Communities@lemmy.world”, post your community there and you should get some people to join.
!newcommunities@lemmy.world for a proper link accessible from any instance.
And for the love of everything, include convenient links, and mention in the title what the community is about! I always try to include all the links to make it maximally convenient for everyone ;) Example (most links won’t work now because they assume you landed there from your home instance, which is not a thing I can link to)
Sheesh it seems to have been taken over by furries.
What?
This is exactly how I found the last few communities I joined. Great resource
Make content. On your communities and on other communities.
People will see your content. Your profile. Your communities.
The community’s content will also appear on loca!
Correct.
Promote it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world
Get it added to sub.rehab (since you mentioned it’s based on niche subs)
I will definitely consider sub.rehab since my communities gain a bit more traction! Thanks a lot
Maybe try telling the subreddits you migrated from
Reddit suppress any mention of Lemmy.
I mod a 100k plus sub on Reddit.
Posted about moving to Lemmy.world.
It’s pinned. It got 10 votes.
I have to manually approve anything I post linking to Lemmy on Reddit as well. Annoying
Ugh that’s gross
If you can find something to legitimately cross-post to or from, that’s one way for users of a bigger community to see you exist
Post, plug (wherever relevant), crosspost.
Here’s a demonstration of the second step (nsfw): !animemidriff@lemmynsfw.com
