How do we build our initial momentum?

+5
−0

Now that this site exists, how do we inspire activity? We've had one post each in Q&A and Gear Recommendations. Are there site-configuration changes that people are waiting for? (If so, just let us know what you need.) Did everybody get busy? Are folks just shy?

One thing that might help is a short description of the site's scope -- what kinds of questions are you looking for? For example, I've been assuming that questions I have about basic cell-phone photography aren't really what you're looking for, but maybe I'm wrong?

The site has a basic FAQ in the "help" link. If the community wants to extend this or add new topics, you can -- I believe moderators can edit the help, and if not, you can ask admins to.

Sorry, I was going to reply shortly after you posted, but in short, yes, I just got busy. I was visiting family when covid hit, so I was away from my computer for 2 months. Trying to answer questions and edit Markdown on an iPad, while being a guest in somebody else's house, was absolutely miserable. =)

sorry, just realized that last comment sounded horribly entitled. I should have said it was "relatively" miserable. I very much had first world problems, all things considered.

Wow, that sounds challenging @scottbb! From your participation on the site proposal I had no idea you were displaced and tech-limited. (And presumably away from your camera bag, too.) I hope you and your family are well and that you're able to get back home soon.
