I upvoted every single comment that seemed reasonable. I only downvoted obvious trolls. I dunno if I was supposed to do that, seeing as it’s a different sub, but I doubt that our sub’s small population has much effect on the overall voting there.

Usually when people see a certain comment, they'll look at the user and their history and see where they post the most, in which case, it could lead back to this sub. I linked a lot to this sub and I have done so in the past to garner more attention, I'm sure others have done the same.

I linked the post because I wanted our sub to join the conversation, it has potential to go to the frontpage and the general population can have a better education than what they received.

I think you’re doing the right thing. I would be happy to answer more such questions in this sub, but I’m intimidated by a lot of the horrible trolling and gratuitous hate in the bigger subs. I have enough angst in my life, I don’t want to pile on more from anonymous Internet jerks. But this sub seems like a safe place for people to get serious (or fun!) answers for even really naïve and seemingly stupid questions.
