For others alongside OP:
Have people tried outreach from both other fediverse stuff (e.g. Mastodon) and non-fediverse stuff?

Given Lemmy doesn't interface super well with microblogging (yet), it seems like it may help a little to mention there's options for independent/federated forum/group discussions via Lemmy/K~Mbin/Piefed, etc. apart from a.gup.pe or Friendica.

I know I have (and still do from time to time), but most of the people don't really bother when they look at the numbers in communities. 50k as the whole of Lemmy is nice, but not enough to invite people to add Lemmy communities to their posts.

Also, microblogging and link aggregators populations don't mesh well from my experience, there is a reason why they are on one type of platform and not the other
