I am not a marketer so my idea may not be good. As a physics enthusiast I can give some thoughts. 

<hr/>

Recently, I was just reading questions and answers in PSE just to learn new things. And what I have seen that is most of questions were asked by undergraduate students and high students or college students. I always tell my friends to join Quora, SE and CD just to learn new things but no one (most of people) in my country isn't interested to learn new things and help others they mostly think they are just wasting their time. In few weeks, I may invite one of my Physics enthusiast friend to Software CD. 

<hr/>

I won't complain of UI/UX of CD. Cause CD's UI/UX is too much better than SE's. But I will complain about some behaviour of people in CD. I have seen some people were just visiting questions and commenting here and there rather than writing an answer. That's not bad at all. Cause a little hint can help a questioner. But some are saying that "**you could find it by google search too easily. It was completely above result of google search engine."** I agree with that. But the asker have some thoughts about his question so why we shouldn't care of his thoughts rather than search engine? [**It's not allowed in SO**](https://stackoverflow.com/conduct). So we should care of it [^1].

Bad post around the network isn't "harmful". But when there's bad post rather than good post around the network than it's "harmful". So we should care of [it](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/284472). As I said earlier, some are just commenting rather than answering [if you have some thoughts than why don't you write it as answer?](https://physics.codidact.com/comments/thread/4916), do you scare to get downvote? Or there's something we are asking which you didn't understand in comment? I can't make further conclusion of problem in PCD cause there's not too much activity here.

<hr/>

After completing above work we can encourage people to [join us](https://physics.codidact.com). I believe facebook and instagram will be better for marketing for any community. 

I will start marketing around some facebook group of Physics. :)

 [^1]: I know some will downvote the post for the single word.
