Newbie Needs Your Advice 😊

I'm a newcomer to Product Hunt, and I stumbled upon it only when I made the decision to launch my free open-source product. I've scheduled the launch for the upcoming Tuesday, and I find myself in a situation where I currently have no followers, no connections, and no activity on Product Hunt. As a result, I don't really "deserve" the support from active community members who have actively supported multiple other launches.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts, advice, or tips from experienced members of this community. How can I make the most out of my launch, given my current situation? What strategies have worked well for you in the past when starting from scratch on Product Hunt?
Thank you all in advance for your valuable insights! 😄

To give some context: I'm launching a free open-source tool for media manipulation and bias detection.

@elena_malneva What do you mean? I'm new on PH, so maybe it was my mistake. Where can I see it?
@elena_malneva Oops... 😁 Although I'm glad if people join the development, that's not the link I intended to post here. Thank you for pointing that out 🙏
I have postponed the launch on PH to take time to develop your account (this doesn't mean postponing the launch at all).
1. Engage in the Product Hunt community beforehand by commenting on other products and connecting with makers.
2. Leverage other channels (social media, newsletters) to create awareness about your upcoming launch.
3. Focus on presenting the unique value of your open-source product, and be active in responding to comments and feedback during the launch.
