I thought of #1, but it sounds weird to use my alts to subscribe to my own community ๐Ÿ˜… I'll try to check if any large instances don't have any subscribers; if so, i'll make an alt an just subscribe.

I've promoted it on both, gotten me from ~35 -> 65, i'd say that's great!

And yeah, i like posting etymology, and i've done it; but it feels a little dirty posting other people's work, even if i credit them. I'll try to credit them harder, though; putting the name of the creator directly in the title, and making a post mentioning them. I think that's fair enough

And for the last point, i learned that the hard way. hours i've watched as my futile attempt at a discussion sit at 0 comments, yet my memes get 20-50 upvotes ๐Ÿ˜‚
