Is there a way to promote a community you create without stepping on toes?

Mods, I know what this looks like, but this is legitimately the only place I feel like I can ask this questions. Please don't be mad

Have a look at https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities . I just know it exists and have got looking at it's rules and checking it out more on my to-do list.
- Exactly what I'm looking for. Thank You!
  
  There is also !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
  
  And a smaller one at !new_communities@mander.xyz
below relevant posts and comments is usually a good place for such hints
- What do you mean?
  
  you can promote your community by responding to relevant posts or comments.
  
  say you create a community for ducks and mallards, then you can go to the birding or wildlife communities and tell people posting there about your awesome new place
  
  If someone uses a factorial without realizing it, you can point them to the unexpected factorial community.
  
  That’s what I do a few times a year. Not exactly an aggressive marketing campaign.
You can always crosspost posts from your new comm to other comms as long as they're relevant to the comm you crosspost to. This is essentially advertising for your comm without making "pls post in my comm" posts
- That's a good one. I'm gonna try that
