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?

@AloneDownUnder@quokk.au also, checking the post creation form from PieFed, near the bottom, it has a "tags" field. If your instance inherits this too, I'd suggest adding tags related to your question, as then microblog users (e.g. from Mastodon and Misskey) may find your post too, to increase the reach of the post.
