Meta: How can we grow this community? (programming.dev)

The title says it all: How can we grow the Rust community here on Lemmy? Many users fled Reddit or are here for different reasons. But compared to it's commercial big brother, the Rust community here, feels more or less dead. I would like to discuss ideas, on how we can changes that and make Lemmy the default for Rust related discussions, instead of Reddit.

I personally think it's a bad idea. I do think relaying is a good idea though.

The reason I think it's a bad idea, is that when I see bot posts, I don't want to interact with them at all. I don't want to interact with them because I think it's unlikely people will read my comments. This has a negative feedback loop for me. In my opinion, what happens is bot posts start to supersede user posts, and more people stop interacting because they believe their comments and posts won't be read.
