I joined lemm.ee and I'm honestly really liking it so far. @sunaurus@lemm.ee is doing a great job!

However, I'm wondering if I should create a new account on programming.dev (or somewhere else) to be closer to where data science / data engineering conversations are happening.

Or maybe there's a way to promote !dataengineering@lemm.ee to folks on other instances? (I didn't create this one but I'm hoping it's discovered by others soon)

Just subscribe to communities located on programming.dev from here. Then when someone else with similar interests searches from here they'll see that community listed right away and can subscribe as well. You'll see the same content as if you were registered on their instance.

As for promoting, I know over on hockey@lemmy.ca they have a stickied post listing out all the dedicated team communities and instructions on subscribing. I've seen similar posts elsewhere. You may find some other related communities and make a post sharing that dataengineering community to drive some traffic to it.

SELECT * FROM fediverse
WHERE
    instance = "lemm.ee" AND
    interest = "data"
ORDER BY "nerdiness"
LIMIT 1;

Well I am here. What do you want to talk about?

This is great ๐Ÿ˜‚

I am down to talk about anything honestly - but just off the top of my head right now:

Can you think of a good analogy to explain databases to complete beginners?

The ole 'filing cabinet' analogy is used a lot but I am looking for something fresh. The students will be epidemiologists / public health people that are very science literate but not necessarily tech-savvy.

"you know excel? Yeah, that's a database." Would be my answer.

You know, I'm something of a database architect myself
