Would it be useful to have a community where users could ask the best place to post something? (self.asklemmy)

I was thinking instead of a /r/lostredditors that makes fun of bad posting choices there could be a community that could allow more experienced users to offer advice on the best community to post in. Maybe something slightly silly like...idk, /c/fedditorsearchparty?

I've had need of something like this more than once. For instance, I saw a cool little statue in an HDR walker video on YouTube recently. It was cute and made me happy and I wanted to share it, but I had no idea where to post it. There are so many communities across so many instances now.

Does this sound interesting or helpful? Or maybe something like this already exists!

Thanks in advance for your input. Have a nice weekend!

Thank you :)

I liked the colors, so it felt like time to swap it
