You can, but it’s not how the web is used anymore. If you want to get reach, you’re better off using any of the established platforms. Search engines won’t help you getting any visitors to your website.
From the user's perspective it's not about "reach"; it's about simply having people to interact with. If you go to a thread on reddit there'll be hundreds or thousands of people to talk about it with, and there'll be active communities for all kinds of niches. If you want to avoid reddit - whether because of privacy issues or site policy or mods or whatever - you have to deal with the fact that everyone else is sticking with reddit.
The world wide web is more than social media.
Factually true, but it sure doesn't feel like it most days.
