Today I discovered the Fediverse Software Database, and it’s a bit disheartening to see how many platforms have so few users. What are some ways we could help promote these smaller or newer Fediverse projects and give them more visibility?

Do they want more visibility?

To me the Fediverse is like email. Some instances want to grow to as many users as possible. Some are just some dude who has his own email server and uses it for himself.

And everything in between

But... There's a difference between instances and platforms. These are platforms.

I mean, your point is still valid, these platforms might not really be interested in gathering more users, but it's not a matter of having a small server you want to keep to yourself. People could host these platforms on their own server, after all.
