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 want to create a beat making community and make it live, post pro tips and things I watch and learned but the problem is that I don't have much time aside from work nowadays and so setting up that routine of making a community live is hard.

I think I should at least try tho

Absolutely! Or start having conversations in a current community and if enough are interested build a new community. I've been adding content to my little communities and even though they're not very active I just keep posting. The founders of Reddit said they had multiple accounts and were acting like it was social until it took off. I'm not saying we got to that length, because I find that creepy, but we need that tenacity.

It's crazy because I typed beatmaking into Lemmy and found a post I made a while ago :)) (because it's so empty about this subject)

This is true. 💪

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.
