[Meta] Is it OK to ask questions in here or should there be an AskProgramming community?

Why not? I feel like lemmy is overall a less restrictive environment.

(Meta) Is it ok to ask questions about asking questions about programming here?

It's fine IMO. Traffic isn't high enough for a split to make sense

This is a collecting community that gets every topic in the instance (so people can go to it and then be naturally sent into the other ones in the instance) so questions in here are fine.

The main question communities in the instance though are:
!no_stupid_questions
!ask_experienced_devs
!cs_career_questions

Oh sorry, I mean more conversational questions like the old stuff on reddit /r/askreddit , /r/askwomen, /r/askmen but instead /c/askdevs. Are those kinds of questions fine here?

Mostly depends on the question content

If its related to the instance topics in any way its fine here or in no stupid questions
(if related to experienced devs then it fits in ask exp devs, related to cs as a career then cs career questions)

If not then it might fit in !lifestyle

If not then !random exists as a collector for everything else and could also get a new community started for specifically that (although I assume itll fit into one of the other two categories)

Alright, I’ll keep that in mind, thanks :)

From the sidebar:

We ask that if you do a help request please add [help] to the start of the post to help differentiate it from the rest of the posts until we get a flair system in

Yeah, I have more conversational questions, not help.
