To answer the OP's, if you need advice, maybe try dev.to. There are a lot of smart people there and it seems to be gaining traction. Also check the project homepage for whatever you're wondering about. Most have discord, slack, Twitter, and even IRC where you can talk to SMEs so check the project pages. I feel like this is a good move, more bespoke solutions than generalized solutions like SO.
There are a lot of valid complaints and good suggestions about SO here but those are probably better taken to the SO meta stack where they can be turned into change.
I still find many relevant answers there. Maybe you're mistaking the irrelevance of whatever you're searching for as the relevance of SO. Having said that, "advice" lends itself to discussion and opinion. SO is quite plain about it not being a platform for discussion; it's for Q and A.
