This may be a stupid question, but how do you decide in what community to ask questions? (quokk.au)

I want to try asking more questions online since it has become so difficult to find things with search engines.

But I don't really know where to post my questions?
How do you decide what community to post to?

For example:
I have a question about meditation.
This looks pretty straightforward, I search for 'meditation' under all communities.
I find 2 communities called Meditation. (I can find more if I search on another lemmy instance, but they don't seem to show up on my current instance)
Both of them look rather inactive.

Do I just post to both of them? Is it possible to post to multiple communities simultaneously?
Should I look for other communities, what to search for?

It looks like the Flotilla that is allying itself hard with the Triad is also becoming problematic.

Make things up much?

Edit: example call (scroll down to read the GIANT TEXT part - you literally cannot miss it) for the entire Flotilla to defederate from the Western/European/democratic Lemmy.World,

Wow, yes you do make things up much. This is a mutual pact that if any one of us gets defederated first, that we will respond in kind. It is not a call to defederate from .world.

I understand you're on team let the Palestinians be murdered, but those of us on the left abhor such genocide. While you're invested in attacking the left to promote right-wing liberal politics that fund, arm, and enable such atrocities, some of us have ethics and want to resist such evils.
