How do I get members to a new forum?

[matogprat]

I need tips about how to get members to a forum in the category food and drinks.
I need a base of members in order to get new members to register. When the forum is new and there are just a few posts it is hard to get new members.
So I would really appreciate input form those of you who have managed to start and built a forum with a good member base.

Personally @matogprat I got most of my members from Discord servers. Just make some friends on discord and get in a bunch of servers and invite people. My sites still new myself but that's an easy way to get members is through Discord.

@Brad Padgett It is an norwegian forum, and the numbers of relevant Discord servers are close to none.

Then you'd need to find some friends who are already in servers which is what I did. I didn't just join random servers. I joined servers some of my friends were in it was a chain reaction of people I added to my friend list that I invited. It really will take getting into your first server to really have any luck but I'm sure there are Norwegian servers out there. You just have to find them. It doesn't have to be the same topic of "food and drink". People enjoy discussing anything that will peak their interest even for a moment, though it may be hard to get users to stick around in the long run with a niche like that, it still won't be difficult to get starter posts if you invite the right people.
