I've discovered Lemmy quite recently and I'm still learning how it works. One of the things I don't get is how small communities can become known? On the main page I can only see communities that I've already subscribed to. I can also see popular posts on this instance. But how post in a community can become popular if no one has already joined it?

I crosspost with popular communities. For example !peertube@lemmy.world is an awesome place to find federated videos from across the fediverse ;)

Also become the change you want to see. Post comment ect... Its a community, have fun with others that enjoy the same stuff you do.

Also if you hang out in New, you eventually see things you like and then subscribe.
