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.
Welcome to the main community in programming.dev! Feel free to post anything relating to programming here!
Cross posting is strongly encouraged in the instance. If you feel your post or another person’s post makes sense in another community cross post into it.
Hope you enjoy the instance!
Follow the wormhole through a path of communities !webdev@programming.dev
You just did
(Meta) Is it ok to ask questions about asking questions about programming here?
This is a collecting community that gets every topic in the instance (so people can go to it and then be naturally sent 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
!cs_career_questions@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 related to experienced devs then it fits in ask exp devs, related to cs as a career then cs career questions)
If not then it might fit in !lifestyle@programming.dev
If not then !random@programming.dev exists as a collector for everything else and could also get a new community started for specifically that (although I assume itll fit into one of the other two categories)
Alright, I’ll keep that in mind, thanks :)
maybe you can do ot like in Jeopardy 😄
Why not? I feel like lemmy is overall a less restrictive environment.
It’s fine IMO. Traffic isn’t high enough for a split to make sense
From the sidebar:
Yeah, I have more conversational questions, not help.
