Any data folks on lemm.ee? Should I join a different instance? - eviltoast

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)

    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 😂

      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.
