[Meta] Shouting into the void

Hi folks. All 90 of you. Two weeks in and we're at 90. It's a far cry from the 173k on r/geology.

tl;dr: is it okay so far?

So far it's been mostly me, just trying to populate the community on a somewhat regular basis to keep the snowball rolling. And I just wanted to ask, is it okay that I'm doing pretty much exactly this? I know that the 90:10 rule applies here, maybe even more so until network effects take over. But I worry that I'm shouting into the void. Is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me.

Assuming it's okay to keep shouting into the void as though this community is my personal blog, for the time being, is there anything you'd like to see? Exactly one of the posts gained any traction (the equivalent of hitting the Reddit front-page), but that doesn't necessarily reflect on what you, all 90 subscribers, want to see here while you're doomscrolling.

So I'm begging you, try licking this clear rock here. It's probably not salt, because it isn't cubic. And all the undergrads have been dropping HCl on it to see if it effervesces, so it's probably sour now from all that acid. Maybe it's a sugar crystal I grew in my coffee cup, suspended on a string and I'm hoodwinking you all. Meow.
