By all means fund and promote *live coding* or teaching videos

 It is worth `promoting` in platforms that has a large number of 
programmers.


Some `foreign platforms` can also be utilized.

`Videos, articles, and animates` can all be used to promote `D`.

give regular updates on D things I've been working on.


You can follow me on:

https://twitter.com/WalterBright

I encourage other D users on twitter to do the same!



Great! I'll try starting to do that also since we most of the 
time we're here posting only to existing D users, being in an 
unfiltered platform such as twitter could help too.


I've started doing that kind of work on instagram since images 
tells a lot there.

Can you create a special post in the forum?
This way, it is safer and more convenient.



That is a good idea to do that as well. But I have no idea why 
would be safer?


Anyhow, the idea with Twitter is outreach to a larger audience. 
Newspapers all do it, why shouldn't we?

Is your `own forum` not better than others?
There are restrictions everywhere on `others platform`.
Of course, it's also because I can't access Twitter, but `these 
websites(platform)` are all like this.
There is no need to seek distance from the near. Forums are 
already `great places` for communication or information.
For D, you only need to have one person dedicated to `publishing 
information` (similar to posting articles on `multiple 
platforms`) on the same account in other similar places.
Instead, you mainly work on the forum. At the same time, if you 
carefully collect `excellent posts` from the forum, these are all 
`excellent resources` for D.


At the same time, the forum is also an excellent `resource 
gathering point`.


Just like I have a website, I hope to increase the traffic for 
others to access me, and your forum can collect blogs related to 
D, so that when others need to `find information`, they can 
directly `visit` you site and then distribute it from you. A 
win-win situation.


In this way, if others say D lacks `resources`, you just need to 
give him `gathering blogs site` to it.
[Some of the articles,I translated specifically targeted for 
chinese D 
users](https://fqbqrr.blog.csdn.net/category_9101560.html?spm=1001.2014.3001.5482).

If only you could give me a link to it.
