How can we make Codidact more friendly for askers?
Most of the sites are struggling to get questions and while it seems to me at least that more effort has been put into optimizing for the answerers than for the askers.
To put it another way, there are lots and lots of sites on the internet where one could get their question answered, why should they ask it here?
Recently for me, it has not so much been that I don't have questions but more that the cost of writing questions is has not been worth the benefit.
What can we do to encourage people to ask questions here?
Chicken, meet egg. In many cases, the askers are much less expert than the answerers. The experts are the ones creati …

Codidact just feels too cluttered compared to S.E. — see https://meta.codidact.com/posts/280464. I think Codidact can gain from appearing more S.E. Then people won't have to get used to two different layouts.

Codidact doesn't offer communities for subjects that the average layman cares about. Just look at S.E. and Reddit's most popular communities. We got no politics, economics, finance, medicine, DIY or home improvement!
Most ones here are too esoteric — Scientific Speculation, Electrical Engineering, Software Development, Code Golf. No offense to Christianity and Judaism — but many English speakers aren't Christians or Jews.
