Hey, David Castleford! Nice to meet you! Yes, definitely update your profile - members are much more likely to want to collaborate if they can see you.
The best way for you to find collaborators is to respond to posts and start posts of your own. Consider these posts in lounges like virtual conversations at a film festival. If you've ever been in the "Filmmaker's Lounge", it's just all the participants who are at the festival after submitting a film and are now gifted with the ability to meet other industry peers, mentors, and collaborators. Your post is like extending your hand in a handshake, and your response to a post is like accepting that hand to initiate the conversation. Here's a blog I wrote about my take on networking: https://www.stage32.com/blog/How-to-Make-Friends-in-the-Film-Business-Resetting-the-Intention-of-Networking
