Yes, Reddit can be tough.
I remember I shared in a Dutch subreddit a couple of times, and it was quite generous for likes and views. Probably, this https://www.reddit.com/r/Netherlands/ But not sure.
City subs usually like weekend activity posts - like, where to go and what to do on the weekend. I see you travel on a bike around Utrecht - you could share knowledge about cool routes and locations in https://www.reddit.com/r/Utrecht/ With relevant specific titles of course.
