As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.
Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532
There is also [email protected]

I sorta get what you're asking for, but I think you're going to get a response like, "Read a book". There's just not much to be gained by discussing issues like this on the internet, lol. edit: I think your example is maybe confusing too... not sure if you're looking for political debates, or just educational discussions, or what. Maybe you could clarify and it'd help get some more constructive answers!
Yeah, it is quite discouraging. I feel this is what the internet was made for, but I have yet to find anything like it anywhere. I will also admit that upkeep of this type of community would be challenging considering bad-faith actors, bots, and ragebait being so effective.
What I am looking for does not seem to fit neatly into any one category, so I'll try to use a POV. I am a person, and see something in my community that is a reoccurring problem. I do not know how this can be fixed or what steps I can take to try to fix it, so I go to _____ on lemmy to ask.
My example was not the best. I thought it was straightforward, but can now see that it can be interpreted in many ways - I'll probably update it.
