For me, paying for featured listings on launch directories (Product Hunt, There's An AI For That, PeerPush and few others) brought immediate, traffic with zero social effort that brought leads to start with.

Its not magic , you will have to work hard to get the users, but at least you will get some quality leads this way.

I think it all depends on your ICP, because launch directories are primarily browsed by other founders and developers Reddit might be a better option.
