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.

I am not sure about “the need to build knowledge” but i am liking the idea of communities of specific interest and expertise with the idea anyone can go discuss things with experts.

Saying knowledge is probably a poor phrase. Build community, building information, sharing likes and fears, sharing anything (within reason obvisouly), but SHARE. One of the reasons those places we consider toxic grow, is because that on standard channels that shit didn't exist. Our stuff does, but it's basically locked away in a matter of speaking. We have to rebuild it. And we do that by sharing and talking and listening and empathizing and trying new things and supporting each other.
