Where can I ask less stupid questions?

Where can I ask less stupid questions? - SLRPNK

Newbie here. My keyboard just completely crapped out (it’s been a long time coming). I have a wishlist of features that I was hoping to run by one of the techy communities to see if anyone could recommend a model, but none of the communities I’m seeing are geared toward those kinds of questions. I can search communities, but if I don’t guess the correct title then I’m SOL… Is there a directory that doesn’t just list the communities, but actually categorizes them so I can more effectively find a hit? Also is it worth posting in a ‘dead’ community? Unsure if a new post will have any visibility in places like /all if the post itself is in a community that no one frequents. Learning the ropes here. Thanks all!

Posting in a dead community will put the post on all, unlike Reddit. And anyone whose instance sees that community and does not have it blocked could see the post. But a heavily populated community is going to be better.

[email protected] may be a good place to try.

Not only that, but sorting by ‘New’ on Lemmy’s All is a viable strategy for finding worthwhile material, so I assume at least some people do (and I could stand to more often).

On Reddit, if you’re a real human person, you’re probably either doing that in a specific subreddit or, if you have nothing better to do, searching for a gold nugget in a pile of manure.
