Well I have been asking other users and hate to message the ADMINs. But currently yes. I just searched for my comunity and it did not show up. I thought it was a really cool thing we could bring or steal from Reddit and ask like um nurses, doctors, web developers, mods, admins a bunch of different questions because I do not think I am the only one migrating over here that liked the casualama or the just AMA. But on my community all are welcome. But I will try my best to do the best for the users. I posted in new commonites looking for help or for people post or know how to promote. I am not asking to spam it but just get the ball rolling and get other people with knowledge that other people are curious about just to ask a question without fear of being downvoted or whatever.

Well to begin with, I suggest adding a description of your community somewhere in that community, so people know what it's about and what to expect of it. if only so visitors know whether they should subscribe or not.

I don't think people mind that you ask for help. Here on [email protected] is a great place to ask. You may also want to try [email protected]. Just make a post telling people what you have in mind and asking for help or guidance. Ideally you'd also find someone to work along with you. I'd help you myself but I don't know anything about AMAs and my time's full up.

I just thought that Ask Me Anything community would attract people to lemmy. People can make requests and its up to the mods or anyone to help get them to come over and have a discussion with their user base.

Edit: probably not what you were looking for, but still

Lemmy devs did AMAs a while back on [email protected]

For some reason I am banned from lemmy.ml and don't know why. So I can't comment unless its on another instance or community.
