I was just thinking about this, when I'm facing an issue, the first thing I do is go to a search engine and usually there's a Reddit post. But I don't want to ask there. And the only way we're going to build up the info for folks to find us and come here is for us to just start asking here. On the Fediverse. We need to build up that mountain of knowledge that Reddit has and will always have. So we should be championing ANYONE asking questions here. Even if we think it's obvious and we think you can just Google it. There was a time where you literally couldn't just Google it. That was built over time. We need to build that here. So start asking your questions here! Find the answers and then post your answer to your own question. Or let someone do it for you. We need to build the knowledge here to be found. It's not just about people looking for alternatives. We need our knowledge to be more valuable than their knowledge.

Fediverse to replace stackoverflow would be something I am interested in.

Go for it! WE get to bikd it however WE want! And the Fediverse can sort by boosts. That's your 'this answer solved my problem' or hell even go back and edit your comment to indicate the post that solved your problem.

Fedi-Overflow?

Stackiverse?

Same here, it'd have to be something AI-hardened, though, still.

What's the right translation for "pepper" in German? And red pepper, green pepper and so on? I found several words that seem to mean pepper, but not sure if any is better than the others.

Also, Bell pepper is Paprika in german

I personally only ask when I can't find anything on the internet, but that's a good idea

Why isn't 11 pronounced 'Onety One'?

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 1 points 22 hours ago

Lol I meant more in starting in other posts or communities or micro blogs across the Fediverse. But I love the question. :-p

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Probably a similar reason 22 isn’t pronounced ‘Twoty Two’

Another idea is an asking system that compiles answers from the web while also posting the question here. Gives the benefit of immediate answers while also populating the fediverse.

Love it. As long as we're active IMO. Random people saying there's no content, let's give them that content. Let's be here enjoying ourselves, talking, sharing, and they'll come. But we have to be tenacious. Support each other as well. Less thumbs up and more actual comments. COMMUNICATING is what the internet is for. Sure thumbs up, but make a quick comment on a post. Get interacting

Using a search engine and adding "Lemmy" will, given there is info of course, work similar to adding reddit before.

[–] mad_lentil@lemmy.kgon.ca 5 points 1 day ago

I'd like to see that happen. Search indexes will have to keep track of the fact, for instance, jlai.lu or infosec.pub are Lemmy instances despite the fact that they might not have "Lemmy" in the url, or even the page title.

It can be done of course, but it's not like with reddit.com, where anything at that domain is automatically associated with the keyword "Reddit."

There are some questions I just honestly would like a few opinions on and/or discussion around and I certainly prefer to do those here and here from members of the federation.

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Go for it. Don't attempt to rebuild a community from scratch, or do, but you can post anywhere that's relevant and if there's interest build that community.
