**Promote this site** (or any Codidact site, for that matter)

I don't have a great answer, just a perspective.

I started using StackOverflow in the public beta in late 2008. I joined electronics.stackexchange in November 2009. I don't remember how I heard about StackOverflow, maybe on Hacker News or something.

I just heard about Codidact today, by accident, after websurfing and noticing that Olin mentioned it in his [electronics.SE profile](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/users/4512/olin-lathrop). (Thanks!)

I would greatly prefer to contribute to a community Q&A site rather than a content curation factory, so I'm on board.

But I never heard anything about Codidact in the last three years.

Did I miss something? I read reddit /r/programming and /r/ECE and /r/embedded occasionally. StackOverflow comes up from time to time and I usually join the griping about it, but I don't remember anyone bringing the Codidact network up as an alternative.

Anyway I'm cautiously optimistic and will dip my toe in here. I just hope that the positive sense of community is valued and cultivated more than on the SE sites.
