TL;DR: link to sites. link to communities. don't just post content, but more importantly make people aware that the community exists.

if you post 10 articles but nobody knows that the community exists, that's worth less than if you only post 5 articles but 3 people read them.

link to communities that interest you in places where people might want to know about them. sticker some link on your irl shared gardening project. maybe to slrpnk.net or sth. Sticker the links to 3 tinkering/DIY communities on your local bike repair shop.

Links are as important as streets are to traffic. They get us from A to B. don't underbuild them.

Stumbleupon was the best.

Took me to a site once, where a person would write out what they're dealing with, and a random other person would send them an existing song. I assume it was all anonymous.

Like this one person posted about dealing with a horrible aunt, and I sent back Jonathan Coulton's "Someone is Crazy"
