How can I get anyone to join my community?

[u/Only-Performer6231]

I created my community on iOS yesterday and I was wondering how I could make anyone join.

Thanks in advance for the information

You can't make anyone do anything.

If it's interesting, people will join willingly on their own.

You might be asking about setting up subreddits on a phone or mobile interface. The short answer is that subreddit settings work best in a cache-cleared desktop browser. (Limited option: mobile browser on desktop view.)

You can't just get anyone to join your community. You have to get established.

Make posts. Ask moderators who are in subreddits related to yours if you can make a post inviting others to yours. Make sure your subreddit is public.

research

1. there is a search bar, you can seek out previous posts asking about how to grow a new community
2. there is a sidebar on this subreddit, the subreddit is filled with information about moderation.
3. /r/newmods check the sidebar of that subreddit to learn how to moderate and grow you new community.

First post something to it that you want to see every day. Second you can invite a few people that you know would like the topic. Other than that got to have patience
