HackerNews front page is good for thousands of views. As much as 10,000 if you can get near the top.
r/programming is good for a couple of tens of thousands of views. Reddit is hard and random. Getting the first ~20 votes is soooo random. Subreddits like r/rust are smaller, but passionate, and good for a few thousand views.
r/dataisbeautiful is good for hundreds of thousands of views. It's a very slow subreddit so if you can hit #1 you'll be on it's frontpage for 24 hours plus. I cracked half a million views from there once.
I've never gotten shit for traffic from Twitter or Facebook.
