Is there something in particular you're looking for that you can't find? I feel like I can find out how most anything works on the internet.

I would very much like Lemmy to be that, but unfortunately Lemmy hasn't been here long enough or 'active' enough to be that sort of a repository. I still have to search on reddit to find any specialized info or even reviews or discussions on random stuff. Funnily, if I post the same question on Lemmy and reddit, pretty much 100% of the time I get better and more numerous answers here on lemmy compared to reddit. I can see that lemmy has the people with the answers, but we need more people with the questions.
Be the change you wish to see. Personally I'm not holding back information, sadly there is only so much I know about.
You can't just create such a space. It happens because people who know things hang out in places where people who ask questions also are. And such that the community encourages answering such questions.
If Lemmy continues to grow, it is possible this will happen if enough communities are formed that support in-depth discussion of issue, or become places where people seek help because people there are helpful.
What do you mean? What can't you find?
Actually, a How-to comm might be a great idea

At least a bunch of the old stuff is still out there.
I still try to find forums for this type of thing. Social networks, lemmy included, are terrible for this type of communication. Content drops from view too quickly and you can't possibly see everything across every community where somebody posts something relevant.
I wouldn't try to fit this particular square peg where it doesn't fit.
Should it? Yes.
Will it? Doubtful.
Is this something I'm too "only have seen the internet post-2010" to understand?

I like the idea but technology has become so complex and so many layers of abstract that having a dummies guide to something will be no better then existing documentation.
Short answer : yes
Long answer: by the gods yes
How good it is depends
I think this would be tough to implement on lemmy because there's no easy way (at least not that i know of) to search Lemmy as a whole. Results don't show up in a google search and even if they did, you can't just attach "lemmy.com" to your query since there are so many independent instances that could be hosting this content.

The whole tech security industry is kind of pathetic. Full of posers who strut around with few skills and are unable to think along the lines of making tradeoffs for business results.
