There was a lot of engagement in the communities I participate up until a couple of years ago. People were interested and actively discussing a lot of topics. There were a lot of newbies asking questions and people proposing different ways for tasks.

Is it just me or did it reduce a lot? LLMs? Company forums? Other forums I did not move to (e.g. discord)? Reduced interest? Or is it just subjective?

    Don’t forget these responses

    why do you want to do X?? Why don’t you do it Y way (that doesn’t actually solve the problem)

      Sometimes this is useful, though. Other times it’s infuriating 😅

      XY Problems are much more common from the person asking the question though…
