TL;DR: link to sites. link to communities. don't just post content, but more importantly make people aware that the community exists.

if you post 10 articles but nobody knows that the community exists, that's worth less than if you only post 5 articles but 3 people read them.

link to communities that interest you in places where people might want to know about them. sticker some link on your irl shared gardening project. maybe to slrpnk.net or sth. Sticker the links to 3 tinkering/DIY communities on your local bike repair shop.

Links are as important as streets are to traffic. They get us from A to B. don't underbuild them.

Going by wording, sounds like what Piefed and Bluesky do? A bundle of communities/profiles by common interest?

    Asked some AI, and appears to be that, though please correct me if I'm wrong.

    But going by that, starting from the fediverse, maybe people could try to make a trend like "My Web Directory" / #MyWebDirectory, where he/she posts a list of recommended small sites? On microblog platforms, usually they seem to allow users to have pinned posts, and on threaded platforms, maybe the link to a post could be included in their bio or something.
