Recently, I published an open-source project on GitHub, and would love to connect with people who might want to use it or contribute. In your experience, what are some good channels for reaching users and contributors? Or, as an open-source developer yourself, where do you usually check out open-source projects?

To reach open-source contributors, consider leveraging platforms where developers congregate. Social coding platforms like GitHub and GitLab are obvious choices, but you can also promote your project on social media, Reddit (r/opensource, r/github), and Stack Overflow. Additionally, attending or speaking at open-source conferences and meetups can help you connect with potential contributors. You can also list your project on directories like Open Source Library or Awesome Open Source.
