A community named like “Ask Lemmy” would probably be most useful to get questions answered, like [email protected] or [email protected]
There probably aren’t enough people with historian questions to have enough questions to get people checking a community every day/week, so questions on that or any other specific topic would probably get seen by more people by just making a post in an “Ask Lemmy” community. However, [email protected] exists with 10 posts since 28 June 2023! I expected to not find such a community or for it to have significantly fewer posts.
You can also search specifically for communities, comments, users, etc.: https://sh.itjust.works/search?q=Ask&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll
There is also [email protected] and other “what is” communities, which would be more useful for that specific type of question.
