      Also, I feel like it’s something people probably don’t wanna talk about, but a lot of Reddit’s appeal is in NSFW content - so a NSFW instance would also likely increase users.

      Content that is interesting to users yet hard to find elsewhere. Link it on Reddit and other places.

      “you can find more info from this lemmy post”

      When people see this often enough, they’ll try it out.

      I feel like I good advertising campaign could do wonders. Reddit’s userbase was beginning to decline around a year ago (if I’m remembering correctly) and so they had this massive marketing campaign with a focus on how there’s a community for everything and, then, they had a massive increase in users.

        I don’t think that’s correct, since all the sources I found referred to growth in user numbers. At worst might be a softening of growth.

          Regardless of the difference between declination and softening (keep in mind it’s difficult to show when people stop using a platform as most don’t delete their account), the mass advertising campaign of theirs definitely worked incredibly well
