I've made posts both on this account and a different account from a different instance in the more niche communities that I'd like to see move here and got zero up votes, downvotes, or replies. I've even messaged the mods of those communities to discuss ways to get more traffic and got no response.
I'm willing to keep trying, but the majority of users aren't and that's something that Lemmy is going to have to overcome

It was what reddit was at the beginning too. Reddit would have to pull another reddit or two to get more traffic and increase the number of content creators / sharers.
IMO, the cat is out of the bag now and we will reach an inflection point some day.
