Would ask and surveys be different? Or would we not create surveys? Or if they are different, how would we articulate that difference?

I think of ask as a mostly unstructured and laid-back experience. Surveys would be hyper-structured and have an approval process.
What I really wish is that we could move other people's posts. I don't think outsiders would remember to post to ask if it's just a laid back question. For a researcher, I don't feel bad about nuking the post and making them repost in the correct community. But for ask, that maybe feels a bit much? In an ideal world Lemmy would just give us tools to move posts from one community to another, assuming both communities are on the same instance.
I wonder if one of the auto mod type things will do something like that… Gotta look into them either way.
People are going to ask their (often stupid AF) questions anyway, so we may as well have some control over the conversation rather than leaving it to the usually equally uninformed masses. Some of us are patient enough to keep answering the same ones again and again. You could maybe put a stickied post up at the top with generalized answers to the most common ones though at least... With a rule about checking that post first before asking the same type of question unless you have something new to add. I.E how do you know when to stop wiping, what do you see in dreams, how can you answer comments, what was taking Hallucinogens like, do you see black, how do you have sex, all the low effort/overly asked ones.
Yup. I’ve always thought we could use a list like that, so when people ask the sand questions we can tell them we’re better at reading than they are. Hehe.
Seriously though, yeah, I think we’re in sync here.
