Meta: How can we grow this community? (programming.dev)

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.

Personally I would like a pinned post to ask/answer questions (and maybe the reddit tradition of asking what is everyone working on this week). Right now I'm trying to port tower_http::services::ServeDir to smol just for fun. I've read https://notgull.net/new-smol-rs-subcrates/ and became motivated to give it a try, sadly when I needed to serve a file to use htmx ServeDir panicked with a tokio rt not found so I figure I give it a try porting it but quickly found myself not knowing how to port some things involving streams. I don't like asking questions in discord, it's not made for that, examples being the poor discoverability for future people looking for a similar question.

I like that idea! I'll try to share more, what I'm working on and where the difficulties are.
