What do you think is a proper way to advertise a community on Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

I'm looking for a way that's appreciated by the community and doesn't break any rules. I just created one that I think was missing here.

Others have mentioned this but I'd like to specifically emphasize crossposting. It's really only reasonable to post in the promo subs when you first get started and maybe after a significant change but you can and should continuously crosspost to relevant communities.

I would also suggest mentioning your community on other parts of the fediverse as the microblogging folks are just as capable of contributing.
