The most important thing to gain traffic in a code golf site is having good questions. SE code golf has 12,718 questions(and counting), and many people are still actively posting questions in there, so it gets a sizeable amount of traffic for answers. Good questions get more votes since code golf is a place where voting is encouraged on all posts. This in turn gets code golf featured on other stack overflow related websites.

Codidact's main outlet to non-codidact places is through its Discord, and SE Chat's Nineteenth byte chatroom, which features new codidact posts. If the frequency of codidact questions increases, there will be some natural osmosis of users from the SE side(which is already a thing, but it will reward activity here more).

code.golf also has many veterans who were tired of SE code golf(and SE in general). There's a good chance we can find some strong suggestions to improve the site from there.

SEO is definitely a thing that matters here: the most popular questions on SE code golf generally make the top results. This needs to happen with codidact as well. So what we need is just.. more outlets for people to find this site, and a loot more(at least average) questions. Ads on related active sites like ATO, vyxal, stax, and other would help to some extent as well.
