90:9:1 ratio, as usual. 1% of the users will post, 9% will comment, 90% will lurk. It's hard to get a community started. The only way is to create your own content until someone graduates from lurking to commenting. And eventually from commenting to posting.
I suspect I'll have the same problem with !geologycareers@lemmy.ca

Hi!
I'm a geophysicist. That's close enough, right?

You don't strictly need an official title to answer, as long as you can back up your claims somehow if/when necessary.
We just need someone to ask stuff now lol

But in this case, with no content yet here, I find it more challenging. Am I supposed to ask questions and answer them myself? lmao 💀

Yes, ask. Not too difficult maybe because I'm supposed to be studying for my exam on Friday, but I'll try to answer anything!

You might need to, haha. Maybe I can be your dummy, asking dumb questions to get started ;)

I've had some more luck over c/aphantasia, but I posted 90% of the content there.

You should also approach !biology@mander.xyz and get each other cross referenced in your sidebars
