Should we create a community for programming help? (beehaw.org)

I used to be a lurker of r/C_programming where people would ask questions and get answers. It mostly consisted of students wanting to get a human answer to their problem.

I liked chiming in there and answering from time to time. Although you always had that one student who ordered to do the homework for them, there were some nice and helpful interactions in that subreddit.

Would people be interested in a community focused around helping each others in programming? Or would this very community do the job already?

And then the people in those duplicate instances cross-post between them 🙃

Most do but not all. Unfortunately there are people that only visit one or the other. I’m not saying it’s an issue, but it will be if we reach a point of having 10 or more of the same communities.
