In the interest of others also talking about increasing engagement and not just having poal be a "news repost forum" like I tend to do a lot of and pushing for more OC.

I want to make a sub about asking for help/ideas/guidance on a project, any project. Not unlike AskPoal but more specific.

For example. I want to learn how to garden in my area. I want to learn how to replace a electrical outlet (I made a comment post on this in the DIY sub, probably should be its own post). I want to learn how to preserve food. Etc.

Somewhere for people to post. "Hey, I want to learn a thing. What resources should I look to, Can anyone here help me"? Even if this is just to point you to another sub (such as /s/garden).

So what does everyone think. Is this a stupid idea, is it worth doing? What is a good name for a sub like that? Maybe something like "howdoi" or "teachme", "poalAcademy" or something. I don't know. I really want to know if this is something people actually want more than anything. Lots of us have various skills and can explain/teach them to each other. It would be nice to spread the knowledge/wisdom from your experience.

There are no stupid ideas/questions. Just stupid people. /s Lets hear it.

Sounds very interesting. Also, I come from that sort of background too. Nearly any of the "new" stuff I had was because I bought it broken and fixed it myself. Otherwise I would have never been able to afford any of it.
