Making /proggles/ faster

After I decided to stop poasting for a week as an experiment, I can conclude, based on the drop in poastings, that there are about 3 other poasters here. How do we get more peeps to take part in our community?

We could link to /prog/ from reddit or other communities, pretending the link is important to the subject, and see if anyone who visits it sticks around.

For instance, way back, the Sleep Sort thread on 4chan's /prog/ was linked to hackernews.
