For sure, and I definitely lurk more than I post. In my case, I was hoping there would be a little more engagement, because it only take a few active people in a community for it to become self-sustaining. I'll keep at it!

I'm trying! I created a community for fans of professional/competitive cycling a month ago. Thirty subscribers so far, but only one single comment in the time, and it was pointing out an error I made (no complaint, it was a fair point). I'll keep at it for a while, but it's hard (and demotivating) trying to have a one sided conversation.
Nope. Years of experience hiding in the bathroom from my kids.
15 minutes? Amateur.
Two things worked for me (and it took AGES to be able to run again without pain). First, like everyone else said, big arch support in all my shoes, not just my runners. Also neutral running shoes with added arch support work better for me than the ones with a lot of control. YMMV
Second, seriously working on my calves and achilles. Stretching didn't do anything at all for me, but using an R8 roller and really pressing it down on the muscle and tendon to stretch and loosen them made a real difference.
One last thought - are you maybe over-striding? Long strides tend to jackhammer your heel. Shorter strides help use your knees to cushion the impact.
Ugh. Joe Rogan is what dumb people think a smart person sounds like.
I still look at Reddit daily. There's insufficient niche content here for it to be a reddit replacement unless you're only into memes, linux, or radical left politics. I'll be happy to make the switch complete when there are communities active enough to replace the ones on reddit.
