Give it time.
When a community is small it's worth to keep the subject wider, to encourage activity. And as it grows, it'll usually specialise itself into a certain type of content.
In other words perhaps c/asklemmy will become more like r/askreddit in the future? Or perhaps it'll become nothing like r/askreddit, but some another community will.
Yeah. Lemmy has no where near the users that Reddit has, which is good because Lemmy couldn't currently support anywhere near that number.
It is also going to depend on which instance can scale to that size.
If you've ever checked new on askreddit, there were quite some questions like that on there too (and people usually answered them because... well why not I guess, everyone's just killing time on there anyway).
I think as long as there aren't many posts anyway, it doesn't really matter. Once there are, it's unlikely the not open ended questions would get much traction. Maybe /r/outoftheloop or /r/nostupidquestions style posts would also get upvoted, at which point it would probably make sense to seperate the concepts. For now that seems a bit needless imo.
Good idea, I created a community on my instance called c/mindwandering
https://lemmy.ml/c/mindwandering@lemmyunchained.net
Could be fun. โ๏ธ๐
