Should I create topics in a forum I'm about to launch so that new users won't feel it is "empty"?

I'm about to launch a discussion forum about Taiwan. I'm really trying to figure out how to deal with the first visitors.

I've thought about the following so far:

Invite few friends to start some discussions and give some replies.
Create discussions myself and reply them myself (with another account).

I don't want the first visitors to feel like the site is empty.

Maybe I'm missing something. Any suggestions?
