I have [Discourse Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-data-explorer/32566) installed on my Discourse sandbox, but I don’t have a lot of content on the site yet. I’m looking for some suggestions on how to play around with [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true)…

- On a site with minimum content, or
- Import a bunch of dummy content to make it interesting

I’m sure importing dummy content would be an interesting exercise in its own right.

Any thoughts on how best to learn [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) on a Discourse instance where I can be fearless?
