Q&A boards on reddit functioned thanks to flairs, [answered], [open], etc. Programming adds the value to also specifying a language in question. Lemmy devs promised they'd eventually impliment them. I see that change doesn't block one from creating specific communities (and I already asked questions and got answers on existing ones), but I see them bringing the closest experience to what I feel you want on Lemmy, without making a separate solution.

You can edit post titles on Lemmy, so yeah we could just put [unanswered] and [answered] in the title
-
Yeah, I've already been putting SOLVED on questions when I've found a solution, as I saw some other sites doing that.

I feel like there's a missing fediverse product for this.
And by "missing" I mean popular, because I'm sure it exists already.

now that Lemmy is working on supporting plugins soon, I think this could all be done inside Lemmy
-
@sik0fewl I think Lemmy can do most the job.
But we’re missing an instance dedicated to that, a place people can port their S.O. answers to, and start building language or domain specific communities

But we’re missing an instance dedicated to that
There are instances already for:
- Programming
- Software Power Users, Tips and Tricks
- System administration
- VOIP
- Photography
- Hi-Fi Audio
- Car and Motor
What we need is to have people using them and willing to feed it with content.

tbh all of the communities hosted on our instance should already be valid/viable alternatives:
If we're missing something that Stack Overflow has that would make or break the experience, definitely feel free to add them to this comment or the Sublinks Repo
Yep, I've been actively promoting programming.dev any time the topic of StackOveflow has come up.
