My site https://IndieHackers.com https://IndieHackers.com has in-depth interviews with lots of developers who've launched their side projects. There's definitely some good information there!
I also wrote a post about my experience launching Indie Hackers itself: https://www.indiehackers.com/blog/launching-to-300000-pageviews https://www.indiehackers.com/blog/launching-to-300000-pagevi...
To answer your question more directly, I think it really depends on what you're building! If your project does a good job appealing to a niche and, ideally, solving a prickly pain point of theres, that makes it easier. The next step is to find places where those people hang out online, and then learn the rules of those communities so you can respectfully introduce what you've built.

- joshontheweb 10y agoI got my first few hundred users (aside from friends) by searching twitter for people complaining about the problem I was solving and showing them my solution. Luckily I had stumbled onto a good product market fit and It worked really well. Also posted on relevant subreddits. Everything since has been organic growth. Edit: my hn clent is buggy and keeps replying to your comment and not the parent thread. Sorry.
