Also, if you are a technical person I urge you to start a blog where you document problems you solve. It’s a great ressource for others and a resumé for you.
There is not yet a good story for federation and the Q&A format… or at least I’m not aware of one.
The difficulty is making sure that it’s moderated with sufficient controls… but then that starts running counter to the ideals of people on the fediverse. But without moderation, you get things that are Quara, and Yahoo Answers… and worse.
The corresponding part is that much of the utility of Q&A is making sure that it has good SEO so that you don’t need to answer the same question again.
All these things tend to suggest that a centralized Q&A system would work better. It’s not that you can’t federate it - but there are a lot of other hard problems for federation of Q&A that are much harder to solve.
Alternatively, what about !asklemmy@lemmy.ml doesn’t fit the desired functionality of Q&A?
