You could try posting on r/mechanicalengineering and other engineering related subreddits to let people know this lemmy community exists.
Posts. Give people a reason to come here.
Whether it is posts about engineering projects or new products. Career questions and advice. Trends within the industry. Suggestions on projects. Inside scoop on how certain companies are like to work for, or work with.
You need a critical mass of people to sustain a vibrant community. Reddit was decent for getting new a constant flow of new posts by a rather large number of members.
100% agree on more posts in general. I'll keep trying to post something daily to grow the community. Any assistance from anyone on content would be wholeheartedly welcome.
