Advertise Outdoors on The Great Outdoors?
Stack Exchange sites that are not beta support community-curated ads. The Great Outdoors is one such site, and obviously there's some support on meta there for this community, so have y'all considered running an ad for Outdoors Codidact on The Great Outdoors SE? You wouldn't be the first Codidact community to do so, but some might react negatively. You know your community (there and here) better than anyone else; I'm raising the question, but what you do about it is up to you.

TGO community ads for 2020 need to be posted on meta here
https://outdoors.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1608/community-promotion-ads-2020
I don't have the time or the skills to create the ad. If someone posts it, I will up vote it. If someone wants to create the add but does not want to post it. Let me know I will happily post it. It need not only be posted on TGO but could also be posted on other sites.

I'm not sure about how "right" using SE's community promotion ads against themselves is. I'd like to stick-it to SE too, but this feels morally wrong.
However, here's an alternate idea, and what I plan to do. High rep users of a SE site that move here can mention that on their profile. Maybe that's wrong too, but it feels more like personal space than SE's space to me.
When top users stop contributing, people will often check their profile. If users have come to respect contributions from that person, they are likely to check out the new place they're at. If each of the top 3-5 users of a site do this, it will probably generate a considerable flow of users to here. You should reach out to these top users and specifically invite them to be part of the core group of an analogous new site here.
I just checked, and over 59,000 people have looked at my profile on SE's Electrical Engineering site. Averaged over 9 years, that 18 views a day. That's a decent number not to be dismissed lightly, especially considering they all deliberately went there.
