I understand that many people are spamming to promote, and that's not okay. However, it's possible to create dedicated threads or posts on social media every week for people to promote their websites, services, art, or anything else

    Can you tell me some communities that allow promotion in lemmy? You get the same problem with creating artist page, you need to promote it somewhere

      Most of the art/music communities on lemmy are still small so there aren’t any strict rules against self promotion yet. It’s mostly just “self promotion is allowed but no spamming”. The communities on reddit have stricter policies and it’s usually one day a week where you can self-promote. Artist pages in social media is a little easier because of algorithms. For example, I followed a bunch of pages that focus on music in my city, and a lot of them followed back. Now I get a random follow a couple of times a month because my page gets seen somehow.
