I have a pretty small open-source-project -- https://github.com/Bloomca/redux-tiles https://github.com/Bloomca/redux-tiles.
It is a library for javascript, which allows you to write less verbose Redux code. I don't have any social media activity (like big number of followers, etc), and had 0 stars, until I've tried to put it on Show HN. It gave me around 100 stars and some momentum, which resulted in 100 stars more over couple of months.
However, it is still a pretty small project, and I can't say that it is used somewhere. I use for myself, as it solves exactly my problems, but don't really think somebody else uses it.
Is it unfair? It depends on your goal -- if you build something for yourself, it is okay (but some marketing definitely won't hurt), but if you really want to share, then I think you should dedicate time on marketing -- meetups, blogs, HN, reddit, etc.
