Another thing that would be helpful is to get the existing users to participate more.

<h2>Upvote good questions when you see them!</h2>

For example, the question "<a href="https://electrical.codidact.com/posts/285070">208VAC triple-phase to single-phase conversion</a>" was posted 2 days ago.  It is on topic, well asked, well written, and appears to be a genuine problem this user is facing.  Only two people thought it was worthy though, and one of them was me.

You only need to understand the question, not know the answer, to judge the quality of the question.

Even if you can't answer a question, voting on it is useful.  When the question is good, it shows the asker that his effort to write it well was noticed, even if you can't help.  Casual visitors see more activity.  It also defines better what kind of questions we want here.  To me at least, that question is a good example of what we want more of.  This is in contrast to some lazy homework problems we have gotten here occasionally.

Voting is free and easy.  Help the site by rating posts when you can.
