Majority of people don't have this mindset and just want to be spoon fed answers without doing a shred of work themselves.
People don't properly phrase their question to give the impression you'd want a conversation and instead ask basic questions, don't reply when they get replies and never engage with the community.
Provide your knowledge and steps you did to get there and ways it stopped working, steps you've tried to resolve..then inquire. People skip all that and just inquire.
Context is very much key, too. Asking "How do I [do this thing that is well documented]?" on a forum just comes across as lazy and wanting information spoon fed. Asking the same question in a Discord server of friends seems more like looking for connection and the personal experiences of the firends.
Yeah think we’re on the same page!
