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.

As a smaller community I think we can (for now) lean into things that wouldn't be acceptable on r/rust.

As people gave said that could look like updates on small projects. It could also look like shit posting silly rust related jokes and such. And lower quality questions that spark discussion.

I imagine there are other things as well. Like maybe screenshots of dev setups or random musings
