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 believe this post would be better if it was rewritten in Rust it would allow more efficent. memory usage compared to; the dynamically typed English language which doesn't have the borrower checker. while allows you to detect when resources are no longer used unlike English's poorly performing 'grammar checking' tools

But seriously there has to be content to engage with and people who respond to the content. I've noticed this community has someone posting really high quality updates but the community appears to be that person.

Posting blogs, or asking questions, etc.. would be a good way to engage.
