In fairness, I don't know what you need to be well-versed in to help devs with mini apps. 

I also don't have a strong opinion about shrug emojis, but I *can* more easily come up with such an opinion on the spot than answer the first question.

maybe i’m projecting my behavior onto other ppl

when i see niche asks i recast and like them so the author gets more visibility and a better chance at having the q answered 🙈

totally fair. and i know that’s what was happening but i was just bummed that in a place where this answer could be answered by so many ppl, it went unnoticed. it took me a lot of courage to ask the question and look so uninformed so emotions were emotion-ing.

also this:

* higher rank in Tae Kwon Do than Vladimir Putin
* hobbies include trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty
* OSS contributor (I updated a README)

I think it's a problem of content virality that affects all social platforms, as was implied in that other thread. There's a lower bar to engagement there, so people glom into it, which increases its visibility, which makes more people engage with it, which increases its visibility...

I think part of the solution could be what you do - relying on people to recast to non-organically increase visibility to try to bootstrap engagement. 

Makes me also wish channels were more developed. Feels like a dedicated subspace to the topic would be another way to increase visibility of a "niche" question.
