I hate the fact that everyone is on mainstream corporate platforms...

MODERATORS
I think discord in particular would be a great place to recruit new users from, but i think one thing that could expediate the arrival of the specifoc people you want is to have communities they might find interesting.
So Maybe make a community specifically for chinese people/ about china, and post some stuff there (memes are pretty handy at getting people to stay on lemmy!)
That way when you ask people to join lemmy, you have a sales pitch in the form of existing communities they'd like.
Some selling points we have at the moment are:
We have a comm for Asian Diaspora here and have only like single digits of people actually of Asian descent lol...
and its so dead...
I don't think a Chinese comm would even have anyone...
I keep posting there once a week, not sure how much more we can do until more people show up.
