Promoting open source is as hard as promoting paid service. VCs will actually invest in promoting open source projects for their startups, that's how hard it is. Open source for fun is really hit and (mostly) miss.

Well, open source only works when people are willing to invest their time for free, which begs the question:
Does your project provide enough or even any value for many people which would entice them to work on it?
If you're not solving a problem that people need solved you can't expect them to contribute -
@imshravan I recommend trying every platform you can find. Hackernews / reddit / medium. Devrant colla is certainly a good place since the community is very friendly!

Na feedback is the easy hit, just introduce one mildly inconvenient feature and watch the hate feedback roll in
