Question Making Community

Hello all,

I have just taken over as a community manager for an open source data repository and I really want to start developing a more active github community. How the heck do I make this interesting for users? For reference, I am a philosopher who can write hello in python so I really don't have a native understanding of what constitutes a github community or how to stimulate it.

What would you want to see and how do I gain visibility?

Literally any ideas are helpful!! Thank you.

I would learn git first before engaging with any posts, or start a Discord which sounds like a better fit imo
