And it was posted on the official OSM Facebook page:

Perhaps paying for a Facebook advert or promoted post might have helped
expand reach. Since only ~13 people clicked like on that post. I don't
know how much that costs, perhaps Facebook could give OSMF some credits
for things like this, to give back?

I agree about languages, but that's a whole can of worms.
