Growing software.codidact

I've been thinking about how the community might bring more contributors to software.codidact. One of the ways is to simply pitch codidact in questions, answers, and comments in stackoverflow. I'm not sure if that is explicitly forbidden there, or frowned upon. Is making explicit pitches for software.codidact on stackoverflow a good idea?

The underlying premise is that this community wants to grow this site more rapidly. The alternative is what I'll call *natural growth*, where people find codidact by themselves. Obviously there needs to be a balance of people who only ask questions and knowledgable people willing to answer them, and I think natural growth is likely more likely to provide that balance. Do we want to grow software.codidact more rapidly than natural growth provides? If yes, what are some other ideas for growing the site?

Obviously these questions can apply to all the codidact sites, but I'm personally most interested in software.codidact.
