Social people, how did you manage with your websites?

I am going to assume the majority of Xenforo off topic is acquainted with xenforo, and presumably are in ownership of it.

How did you get your partners, how do you even begin everything.

I have the technical knowledge for everything. But what I don't know is the social aspect of it.
How do you get people to be mods, users, inital engagement, partners, how?

Am I being clear? Basically my end goal is engagement, and engagement requires effort, and effort requires more people.
How do you get more people, is what i'm asking. Not just users, but also the employment side, like mods, employees, business partners, etc.

P.S - I work completely, 100% solo.
I do everything, design, code, hosting. It's been like that for a while.
But honestly, it's tiring being alone.

That's okay! You don't have to be the most social person, but you do need to have basic conversational and writing skills.

My first suggestion is to bookmark sites with similar content. This could be other forums, Reddit groups, Discord groups, newsletters, etc. This will be your sources of inspiration.

From these sources, craft questions. There are so many styles of questions: emotional, "would you rather", practical or informational, clickbait, confrontational, open ended, leading, etc.
