ATM, I’m just in an inquisitive mood, but there doesn’t seem to be an “AskDevs” community here. Dunno if it’s fine to just ask questions here or if the mods would rather those kinds of things be done in another community.
From the sidebar:
We ask that if you do a help request please add [help] to the start of the post to help differentiate it from the rest of the posts until we get a flair system in
Yeah, I have more conversational questions, not help.
This is a collecting community that gets every topic in the instance (so people can go to it and then be naturally filtered into the other ones in the instance) so questions in here are fine.
The main question communities in the instance though are !no_stupid_questions@programming.dev !ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev
Oh sorry, I mean more conversational questions like the old stuff on reddit /r/askreddit , /r/askwomen, /r/askmen but instead /c/askdevs. Are those kinds of questions fine here?
Mostly depends on the question content
If its related to the instance topics in any way its fine here or in no stupid questions
If not then it might fit in !lifestyle@programming.dev
If not then !random@programming.dev exists as a collector for everything else
You just did
(Meta) Is it ok to ask questions about asking questions about programming here?
Why not? I feel like lemmy is overall a less restrictive environment.
maybe you can do ot like in Jeopardy 😄

It's fine IMO. Traffic isn't high enough for a split to make sense
