Seeking recommendations for federated Q&A forums on Linux and software issues

I'm looking for federated Q&A forums specifically focused on Linux and software-related issues. I'm not referring to platforms like NodeBB, Discourse, Lemmy, Kbin, PieFed, etc. I'm asking for specific instances that focus on Q&A about Linux and other software related issues. I know of some popular non-federated platforms like Stack Exchange, AskUbuntu, Arch Linux Forum, etc. But I'm particularly interested in federated sites.

If you have any recommendations for such forums, please share them! Thank you!

I've been thinking about adding Q&A features to PieFed for a while... Initially just the ability to set a comment as the solution to a post and then give that comment more emphasis in the UI. What else do we need? Maybe display the number of solution comments on peoples profile.

Forum.linux.it from Italy, especially Assistenza Linux category,
https://linux-nerds.org/ in German, but it is not active that much,
Forum Internet, Czas Działać! from Poland, not specifically Linux, but rather software privacy and consumer rights (made by a privacy rights advocate organisation)

Hey, yeah, please tell the Linux Nerds people to turn on federation!

Tell them Julian from NodeBB will help them get started 🤓

That sounds like Fedimins. We use Discourse with the AP plugin. https://fedimins.net/
