Q and A on Beehaw - what's the vibe? (self.chat)

So this is a bit of a meta-question. I was going to post a question about tech (for context I am looking for a tablet/iPad to read journal papers) so I headed to the technology community. But all the posts are news articles and the description is along the lines of 'post happenings and innovations in tech...' so I chickened out. Same over at science and humanities (I was thinking a more acedemic community might be up for a convo about journal reading)...

I know Beehaw is really friendly and it probably wouldn't matter if I posted random questions in the "wrong" spot but I would like to be able to target my questions and convos and not just put everything in chat and AskBeehaw. But maybe that's the idea. News type posts by topic and convos in other communities to maximise the relatively small community?

I'm really interested to know what 'rules' other people use to decide where to post non-links. Or any more formal guidelines - Am I missing something?

Edit: and yeah I did (over)think about posting this in Beehaw support but I am more interested in hearing about other people's thoughts then asking a help question

There is not too much vibing at all really. Though I like the content i get here on beehaw there really inst a lot of it. I still see the same posts from weeks before in the top 50 to 100 posts. But thats the same problem nearly every Lemmy instance has. Honestly The whole fediverse is too spread out and lacks engagement because anyone can create an instance and then most of them end up sharing the same limited content. It all feels like too much water in my Scotch.
