You've gotten 7 signups in a month by doing nothing but a couple posts on a few sites. There is nothing wrong with that, because you haven't done any marketing yet. Posting !== Marketing. You need to figure out who your audience is, what their pains are, how they talk about them, and get your name out where they are a looking while using their language to describe their own problems.

The list you posted of what actions you took is not that - it is you sharing a couple posts on sites that are not great for conversions. HN and reddit are good for driving traffic, but that is not the same thing. I have no idea if your product has a market or not, but you'll only find that answer if you start actually looking for the market.

Thanks for the clarity. Very true. Ive been getting good feedback on HN and reddit, but as you state its not feedback from the apps target audience. I am going to iterate on the feedback provided by others and see how the results pan out.
