.com is my first choice when it comes to domain names. I have settled with using other extensions, but I usually won't get a domain unless the .com is available.
Does your forum have slow days during the week? What days get the least activity on your forums?
I think Tuesday-Wednesday are the slowest days for my forum.
I posted on a few forums where I regularly build links. I usually make a promo post on social media every few days. I also followed people, and added more friends on Facebook related to my niche.
Most of the time I spend online is on my forum, even if I'm not posting I like to monitor my site.
I try to respond to most discussions to keep the content flowing.
I mostly design my own graphics. I enjoy messing around in Photoshop until I come up with something I like.
I usually pay for logos, or graphics that require an artists touch, because I don't have drawing skills.
I knew how to code before I started a forum. I still need to learn how to create add-ons for Xenforo, because I have some ideas on how I want to expand my forum, so in that sense I'm forced to expand my programming knowledge, because I own a forum.
I use most social media platforms to build links, and to reach out to more members. I'm on Facebook, X, and recently started using Bluesky. I also have threads, and Instagram that I use less often.
I think you should pick a niche you enjoy, regardless of the competition. If you're passionate about the topics you post, you'll add much more value to your forum.
I try to reply to all/most topics whenever I can add anything to the discussion, and I like to create a thread or two each day.
How often do you usually post on your forums?

My niche is "poker" I believe is over saturated a bit, my...
I don't think it really matters if a forum software is "well-known" or not, but rather how you customize it to suit the needs of your users.
With that being said, I don't know any less known forum softwares I'd consider using.
I had a staff member on my old Facebook group scam a few members. Obviously I banned them, but I also took some backlash for not doing it sooner. I needed proof before taking action.
