Is this like Reddit? (lemmy.world)

How do I get people to see my community or know if people can find it? I was on Reddit for 2 days starting a community and got banned for NO REASON. I saw this was the closest thing to it so wanted to start here until Reddit (if they ever bother) checks my appeal.

Whether it's Lemmy or Reddit, making a community means building it from the ground up and posting a lot of stuff yourself. People can and will find it if it's active, but that also means that you have to be active with it from the start.

Later, when people have joined your community, then you will be able to rely on others to start posting and commenting more.

Yeah I was doing that and trying to get karma but Reddit saw me is a bot. Hopefully I don’t get flagged here.
